Horizon Architecture · Essex and London
Architectural design and planning support for homeowners, property developers and businesses in Rochford.
We work with briefs across Rochford, Rayleigh and Hockley. 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.
Rochford distinguishes householder, minor and major application routes in its planning guidance. Its published guidance also states that its pre-application service is currently offered for major schemes. Check the current service before building a programme around pre-application feedback for a smaller project.

For a Rayleigh loft conversion, Hockley extension or Rochford commercial alteration, we first establish the existing use and the scope of physical works. That allows us to identify the relevant application route and coordinate a proportionate drawing and report package.

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.
