From dormers to full roof lifts, we help you create beautiful upstairs space with minimal disruption.
✅ New Builds & Knockdown-Rebuilds
Have land or an outdated property in rural Essex? We help you unlock its full potential with clear design vision and practical advice.
✅ Planning & Building Regulations
We manage the entire process — from measured surveys to planning submissions, design tweaks, and Building Control packages.

We use cutting-edge 3D renders so you can see the design from every angle before committing to the build.
Planning Insights by Area
Chelmsford City
Permitted development covers a lot here, but conservation areas in Writtle or flooding in Beaulieu can affect your plans. We handle it all.
Brentwood Borough
From green belt plots in Hutton to tight spacing in Warley, our team navigates restrictions with confidence.
Basildon District
In places like Billericay, Wickford, and Laindon, we know how to address neighbour objections, access issues, and common pitfalls.
Rural Villages
Working in Great Totham, Stock, or Little Baddow? We collaborate with drainage experts, ecologists, and structural engineers to support your vision.
What Our Clients Say
“I had the pleasure of working with Connor Ferris Architects on a planning application for my property, and I am extremely impressed with their work. They provided detailed and well-thought-out planning drawings that made the entire process much smoother. They were also quick to address any questions I had and kept me informed every step of the way. I highly recommend Connor Ferris Architects for anyone needing expert planning drawings and advice!”
