Planning-Led Architectural Services in Nottingham

MO Architects provides a comprehensive range of architectural and planning services for residential and commercial projects across Nottinghamshire and the wider East Midlands. Our work is defined by a planning-led approach, ensuring proposals are well considered, policy-compliant and deliverable from the outset.

We support projects from early feasibility and planning strategy through to technical design and construction, tailoring our services to suit the scale, complexity and ambitions of each project.

Planning & Development Strategy

Planning is central to everything we do. We advise clients at the earliest stages to establish what is achievable, identify potential risks, and develop clear strategies to improve the likelihood of securing consent.

Our planning services include:

Pre-application advice and feasibility studies
Planning applications and supporting documentation
Design & Access Statements
Heritage Statements and impact assessments
Planning appeals and negotiations

This service is particularly valuable for projects involving constrained sites, sensitive locations, or complex planning considerations.

We work with private homeowners, developers and landowners on a wide range of residential projects, from modest extensions to new-build homes and apartment schemes.

Residential services include:

House extensions and alterations
New-build and self-build homes
Residential apartment developments
Site appraisals and layout studies

Our residential work balances design quality with practical considerations, ensuring proposals are appropriate to their context and capable of gaining planning approval.

Our experience extends across a variety of commercial and community-focused sectors, where careful coordination, regulatory compliance and clear communication are essential.

Commercial and community services include:

Office and workplace design
Healthcare and education facilities
Community and mixed-use developments
Feasibility studies and development layouts

We work closely with clients and consultants to deliver well-coordinated proposals that respond to operational requirements as well as planning policy.

Heritage services include:

Listed building consent applications
Works to conservation areas
Heritage Statements and significance assessments
Alterations and extensions to historic buildings

We aim to achieve sensitive, well-justified proposals that respect historic fabric while allowing buildings to evolve and remain viable.
