Danny at ds designs attention to detail was first class making sure that every element of the planning applications was covered in detail . Danny is very experienced and was able to point out errors in the planning departments responses where they themselves had made the wrong assumptions or interpretations of the current planning rules and regulations which differ from council to council .Danny spent a lot of time reviewing comments made by the planning office and was able to find a way forward to get a successful outcome .in my opinion Danny has always gone above and beyond on my projects and I’m very grateful for all his efforts to my projects all in all outstanding success would not hesitate to recommend to anyone for further work

After moving into a new property, we met with Danny to chat through what we wanted in creating our forever home. Danny came up with a few design options for us, and then worked with us to get what we wanted, making the most of the space and using his design expertise. His commitment to getting the design right, attention to detail and knowledge was excellent. He has good relationships with the planning departments and made the planning stage stress free, keeping us updated every step of the way.
After receiving our planning permission just before Christmas, we are now looking forward to the project coming to life in 2024! We would highly recommend DS Designs for your next project.

We honestly can’t recommend DS Designs enough. After two previous Architects failed to understand and deliver our vision, we were blown away by Danny’s approach and understanding of what we were looking to achieve. Danny not only understood our vision but was able to technically explain why some designs couldn’t be achieved structurally. He was then able to make some fantastic alternative design suggestions that were both practical but also in keeping with our vision. The result was a design that would finally pass planning permission but also deliver a better design that we are delighted with. Danny is also not scared to push back on ideas that won’t work but does so using a wealth of technical experience and can support his reasoning. This to us was so valuable as previous architects would not push back on matters that in hindsight simply wouldn’t work and we would have some horrible surprises if we were to try and build some of our earlier design ideas. You are in safe, expert hands with DS Designs

The service I received from DS Design was professional and friendly. Danny made me feel relaxed and comfortable whilst I was explaining what I was hoping to get through planning. His knowledge was exceptional and offered other options that would work with my property that I had not thought of. He was quick to respond to any of my questions and put my mind at ease with the process. I would highly recommend this company.

Danny discussed various design options with us. He drafted these so we could then discuss them as a family at a convenient moment. We made contact a number of times and he explained the benefits of the different approaches which helped us choose the design that met our needs best. He worked in a very timely manner and he was very informed about the processes. He undertook the work from the initial visit right through to the planning approval stages.

A professional, courteous and accommodating person to deal with. Takes the time to offer and explain his ideas and thoughts. Not pushy with his ideas, he’s happy to take on board his client views. An excellent knowledge of building and planning obstacles also when he is drawing his plans to ensure there are no nasty surprises when it comes to the build. Makes a complicated process easy for his clients. Highly recommend.

I can’t recommend ds designs highly enough. We engaged with Danny back in 2019 to design our kitchen/dining room extension. He was highly efficient and delivered on everything we asked of him. If we were to do further work in the future we wouldn’t hesitate to get in contact with Danny again.

Danny (DS Deaigns) has been exceptional throughout both with design and managing my planning application. When planning was refused Danny stayed in touch throughout and after constructive discussions I was confident to appeal the decision. Danny’s attention to detail and knowledge of planning regulations resulted in a solid appeal. The initial decision was overalled and we won the appeal.
DS designs have proved to be both competent and very cost competitive.
For what is a very stressful process Danny takes a lot of this away. Very strong recommendation from me and my family.

Have used DS designs a number of times for both personal and business projects. Danny really knows his subject and brings exceptional ideas to the table whilst managing to stay on brief at all times. His knowledge and guidance through planning applications is also a valued part of his skill set.

I have used Danny on two projects now and always end up walking away with an amazing result and a design far superior than I first imagined. He spends the time to understand requirements and it really does show when the project is complete. Thank you.

Danny at DS Designs was absolutely excellent throughout the project. They helped us transform our semi detached home with a rear extension. Throughout the project Danny was extremely attentive, always available to discuss and would always take time with us. His eye for detail and fantastic talent were the reasons we chose DS Designs and we were so thankful we did.
Throughout the project they were extremely practical and made sure every decision was for our benefit. They were amazing at helping us with the project and highlight things that would be important for us as a family.
We cannot recommended DS Design highly enough. Danny has subsequently completed a number of other projects for our family and friends.
