Planning consent and retrospective consent
Planning permission and buildings all in one place.
At Big Box Buildings, we offer temporary and long-term building solutions that provide a lower cost, lower risk, and quicker build option for small, medium, and large operators in the manufacturing and distribution sectors, including numerous blue chip clients.
Planning permission is essential if you want to build extensions or if you intend to build a completely new building.
At BigBox UK we pride ourselves on being able to offer our clients a faster build time than many other providers due to our partnership with The Planning Group LTD. No worrying about resolving any planning permission-related issues yourselves – we’ll handle the entire process for you.
The Planning
Group LTD
The Planning Group Ltd (TPGL) are Big Box Buildings’ retained Planning Consultants and advise us and our clients in relation to proposed Industrial and Business Projects throughout England and Wales.
The team at Big Box UK have worked with TPGL for over 10 years and have successfully procured planning consent on many varied projects.
TPGL helps us to get a decision from councils within 5 weeks after the consultee period ends, indicating whether the planning is accepted or if adjustment is required. The team goes to great lengths and detail to ensure that planning permission passes successfully, and if any issues arise these are dealt with smoothly and swiftly, which has resulted in a 100% success rate on projects to date.
This high certainty of acceptance enables the team at Big Box UK to begin building straight away, speeding up the build time and process for all of our clients.
We’re happy to offer all of our clients planning permission and buildings all in one place so that they don’t have to wait months for applications.
Retrospective Planning
Retrospective planning is applying for planning permission after the building work has already been carried out. It is a popular choice amongst our clients as most organisations don’t want to miss the opportunity to start building as soon as possible.
Having Big Box UK and TPGL on your side ensures that your retrospective planning application has a near-guaranteed rate of acceptance.
It’s important to get retrospective planning right as your local authority may ask for all work to stop immediately and you may be asked to reconstruct any buildings that have been demolished.
Our professional planning consultants and dedicated build team will ensure that you avoid spending money on reversing building works that were not allowed in the first place.

The local council decides on applications in the same way as a regular planning application. Submitting a retrospective planning application after building work has already started will not affect the decision-making process, and you will not be penalised for doing so.
Starting the retrospective application process right away is always recommended. If you don’t, the council will send you a letter with a deadline to submit your retrospective planning application. If permission is granted, no enforcement action can or will be taken.
If your application is rejected, you must take immediate action. Unlike a standard planning application, you have different rights when appealing a refusal. If you don’t appeal quickly enough the council will take immediate enforcement action.
