  Thoroughly Recommended

  Posted 5 days ago

  Simon initially helped us to obtain guidance from the local authority regarding a proposed residential extension without creating the potential of an official record in the event of a refusal. Following a positive response from the local authority he subsequently prepared the necessary documents for a full planning application and we duly received an approval. He has been straightforward to deal with, prompt and adhered to his quotations. I make an unqualified recommendation.

  Outstanding Architect – Planning Permission Made Easy

  Posted 09 January

  We can’t recommend Simon at SWG Designs highly enough. He helped us secure planning permission for our 4-bedroom detached house in Dorking, Surrey and made the entire process simple and stress-free. Simon was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly helpful throughout, guiding us every step of the way and always taking time to explain things clearly. Communication was excellent and we always felt supported and confident in the decisions being made. Thanks to his expertise and attention to detail, our application was approved smoothly.

  A whole Project from start to finish done to perfection

  Posted 04 June 2025

  To say we are delighted with SWG designs doesn't even begin to do justice to the experience ! We had a lot of ideas as we were combining two flats into one, yet they had to fit within a very specific budget. Simon and his team took our ideas and improved them adding creative flare to finding workable solutions to our flights of fancy. This is involved an elevator between floors, removing a number of walls, installing a brand new kitchen from scratch, replacing hideous U-PVC windows with traditional wooden sash windows and overcoming arduous fire regulations. A job well done.

  Planning for a major extension in a conservation area and AoNB

  Posted 03 December 2024

  We are in the process of a significant extension of a 3 bedroom chalet bungalow type property in a n Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and Conservation Area. I was impressed by Simon's understanding of what we were planning to achieve and our initial discussions were positive however my wife and I were not optimistic about getting an extension approved in a conservation area. Simon and his team did a fantastic job and achieved approval for the plans which will significantly improve the look and the value of our home. We're very pleased to recommend SWG to others!
