Typical sequence: private brief with drawings or proposal notes → triage → written appointment basis → submissions and liaison for the accepted scope.

Useful briefs include address, proposal summary, drawings if held, conservation or listed status, and prior refusals if any. Westminster estate and listed constraints often shape the planning strategy as much as design.

Planning outcomes remain with the local planning authority (Westminster). We prepare and advise; we do not grant permission.
