Horizon Architecture · Essex and London
Architectural design and planning support for homeowners, property developers and businesses in Braintree.
We work with briefs across Braintree, Witham and Halstead. Horizon Architecture provides design, planning drawings and technical coordination for residential and commercial projects. We serve the area by arrangement; this page does not describe a separate local office.
Check the exact property address and planning authority before preparing your submission. Postcodes and postal town names do not always identify the local planning boundary.
Braintree directs applicants to its local validation list before submission. A clear design still needs the correct application form, supporting drawings, relevant reports and payment to be registered as valid. We identify which documents are relevant to the proposal before commissioning additional surveys.

For a house alteration or a small development in Braintree district, separate the existing survey from the proposed design package. Mark retained structures and proposed demolition clearly so that the application and later technical drawings tell the same story.

Your appointment defines the services included. Statutory application charges, surveys and specialist consultant fees are identified separately. Council approval is an independent decision and cannot be guaranteed.
Yes. We start with the available plans, your brief and the site constraints, then agree whether a measured survey, planning submission and technical package are required.
The planning and technical stages serve different purposes. Your quotation should identify the construction details, engineering and other consultant inputs needed for the intended work.
