LASplanningWe have been busy behind the scenes here at LASplanning – working on a couple of short video projects.
The objective was to create a visual means to help prospective clients understand what LASplanning is all about – but of course, the best way is to reach out to Lorna herself!
You can watch our latest creation here…
And this is the extended version…
‘Lorna was an excellent decision maker who responded quickly and efficiently, when required. Lorna anticipated likely planning issues before they arose, which assisted in keeping the build on time and within budget. I look forward to working with Lorna again.’

LASplanning recently teamed up with Harvester Homes on a Two Storey House Extension project.
Andrew Neilson, Director of Harvester Homes gave feedback on his experience of working with Lorna and LASplanning. You can read what he said here.
LASplanning provided planning and project management support to configure this house extension to better utilise former garden ground and to enhance the southerly facing aspects of the property. It was achieved on budget and on time but critically it was also designed and constructed, by Harvester Homes, to complement the local streetscape and the design of the existing house.

Lorna Sim provided planning and project management support to configure this house extension to better utilise former garden ground and to enhance the southerly facing aspects of the property. It was achieved on budget and on time but critically it was also designed and constructed, by Harvester Homes, to complement the local streetscape and the design of the existing house.
Project Components
The key requirements of the project were achieved by increaing internal living space and successfully incorporating a wood burning stove including flue and chimney system.
Known constraints were also overcome without delay to the project timetable, specifically the diversion, replacement and build over of a Scottish Water drainage pipe which served nearby homes. Pre-build site investigation work was arranged and coordinated to confirm that the proposed site was neither contaminated nor vulnerable to mine workings.
Statutory permissions including planning permission and building warrants were timeously achieved to enable the construction and habitation of the build. Project management and project planning skills (PRINCE 2) were also applied throughout.
Key Activities Undertaken
