Find an architect in your area

Choose your nearest city above to see the ARB-registered practices we list there, ranked by verified client reviews and then distance. If your town is not on the list, pick the closest city or search by postcode. Architects often work beyond their own town, and one based nearby may already know your council well.

Which cities have a local planning guide?

For Bath, Birmingham, Brighton, Bristol, Leeds, Leicester, Liverpool, London, Manchester, Nottingham and Sheffield we have written a guide to the local council’s planning: the share of householder applications it granted, its conservation areas and Article 4 directions, the age of local housing, and how to start a project there. Each figure links to its source, such as the government’s planning application statistics.

Which council decides your application?

Where there is both a county and a district council, the district or borough council decides householder planning applications, not the county; in London, the borough (or the City of London) usually decides. Our guide to finding your local planning authority shows how to check which council covers your address.

Why is my town not listed?

We add towns as practices are listed there. Choose the nearest city, search by your postcode, or describe your project in the form above and we will email you when you can choose a practice.

Does a local architect have to be based in my town?

No. What matters is experience with your council and with your kind of project. Many practices work across neighbouring council areas, so ask whether they have submitted applications to your council before.

Can an architect from another council area submit my application?

Yes. The application goes to the council for your address, whoever prepares it. What helps is knowing that council's list of documents it needs and its design guidance, so ask what the practice has submitted there before.
