Horizon Architecture · Essex and London
Architectural design and planning support for homeowners, property developers and businesses in Epping Forest.
We work with briefs across Epping, Loughton, Chigwell and Ongar. 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.
Epping Forest’s planning hub includes its interactive planning map, built heritage guidance, application validation requirements and guidance relating to the Epping Forest Special Area of Conservation. Identify which of these affects the actual site before assuming a standard householder package will be sufficient.

For an Epping, Loughton or Chigwell proposal, an early constraints review should guide the brief and consultant appointments. We use that review to decide which design options are worth developing and which questions need specialist input.

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.
