Extension Planner Ltd.

Peter & Lizzie Smith, the founders of Extension Planner have been helping people design exciting and innovative extensions for over 25 years. We have a wealth of experience getting planning permission, including in Conservation areas, National Parks and on listed buildings. We have a 100% success rate and offer a comprehensive design and consult service to help you turn your hopes into bricks and mortar. We work across the counties of Sussex, Surrey, Kent and Hampshire, and specialise in helping our clients take an idea for making their homes bigger, work out the best way to do it, and help them get planning permission, while making sure it is also going to be practical to build, and comply with building regulations. We're a happily married couple who discovered we share a love of architecture and home design, when we walked around our first prospective home together, almost 30 years ago. Despite it being a total wreck, we both took one look, and said 'this is it.' Since then we've done up several homes of our own, undertaken successful property developments, and helped clients get planning for a wide range of projects from a Pool House to a 7-bed luxury Sussex-style home. Peter started his career by training as a Chartered Surveyor, learning the ins and outs of building construction. He then developed a successful career in marketing and media, doing property development as a sideline. With just about every build people asked us 'who's your architect?', and before long we found ourselves drawing up plans for friends and family. After our first few commissions, we launched extensionplanner.co.uk about five years ago. Lizzie is one of the most intuitive and visual designers you're likely to meet, bringing her artist's eye to bear on every interior, not just making sure it encourages flow and movement, but choosing materials and colours that hang together to create energetic, yet restful homes. Her work has appeared in numerous home magazines, and she brings a rare ability to see and imagine how you will live in your new space.
