    Replacement porch in Harrogate
    Jason Bates provided a prompt and complete service, drawing up plans to replace our damaged porch in a conservation area. He successfully submitted the plans on our behalf to the local authority, with planning approval now confirmed.

    I can highly recommend Jason as an achitect, he was very efficient, helped to make better design decisions, submitted the planning application, that has been successfully approved.

    Plans for Kitchen / Diner and loft
    Would not recommend using this architecture service. Make sure you have a clear understanding of what service you are paying for ended up paying £940 for simple drawings that were submitted to the council for only outlined building permission, he wanted £2000 originally. These are not plans that a builder can follow as no site visit even took place so need to pay out again for building regulations plans to be submitted and drawn up. Could have done the application process ourselves with the council as we ended up liaising with the council direct, had to chase for plans from him in correct scale the council requested. Again I cannot stress enough be clear about what services he is providing as communication is poor. We are still waiting for A1 plans and plans he apparently purchased to complete the application.

    Answer from tradesperson:

    I successfully obtained planning approval for this lady. The job was for a rear and side extension and a loft conversion with Dormer. All three aspects needed planning permission, I emailed a quote to complete the planning drawings, it wasn't close to £2000. I completed the drawings, the lady then said due to issues with her boyfriend she didn't have much money and asked if she could pay me half of the agreed fee, the remaining to be paid 4 weeks later on pay day. I reluctantly agreed as I felt sorry for her. This was my mistake as she never went on to pay the full fee. I discussed and quoted to complete the planning drawings and application, no building regulations drawings included at the planning stage, its best on all jobs to obtain planning prior to starting the building Regulation. No building regulations drawings included in the fee offered. I have an email from this lady thanking me for obtaining the approval. I have started legal proceedings for defamation and to also recover the outstanding fees. I think this is the reason this client is not happy. Luckily I have over 300 very happy clients on this site (98% positive) with outstanding feedback to prove I offer a very good service and price competitively. Please ignore this false feedback. Please scroll down, you will see how well we look after clients, if you scroll down to the 28th June 2021 - feedback left by ‘Sheikhrs’ This is a true and honest reflection of how we operate.
