Architectural Services in Burwell, Cambridgeshire
If you are considering extending, altering or developing a property in Burwell, Dan Page Architectural Services can provide the architectural drawings, planning advice and technical information needed to move your project forward.
We work with homeowners, property owners and developers on projects throughout Burwell and the surrounding East Cambridgeshire villages, providing a practical architectural design service from the first ideas through to planning, Building Regulations and construction.
Planning an Extension or Home Improvement in Burwell?
Burwell has grown considerably over recent years, with a mixture of traditional village properties, post-war housing, modern estates and substantial newer residential developments.
For homeowners, this creates a wide variety of opportunities to improve existing properties. A carefully designed extension can provide the additional space a family needs without the expense and disruption of moving home.
Projects we can assist with include:
Single-storey rear extensions
Side extensions
Two-storey extensions
Kitchen and dining extensions
Loft conversions
Dormer extensions
Garage conversions
Internal remodelling
Porches and entrance alterations
Annexes
Garden rooms and outbuildings
Replacement dwellings
Individual new-build houses
Small residential developments
The starting point is normally to establish what can realistically be achieved on the site and whether the proposal is likely to require Planning Permission or could potentially be carried out under Permitted Development rights.
Architectural Design Tailored to Your Property
Adding floor space is only part of a successful extension. Good architectural design should improve the way the entire house works. That might mean opening a kitchen towards the garden, creating a better relationship between living spaces, introducing more natural daylight, forming an additional bedroom or home office, improving circulation or completely reconsidering an outdated ground-floor layout.
Dan Page Architectural Services combines practical design experience with a detailed understanding of planning and construction to develop proposals that are attractive, functional and realistic to build.
Planning Applications in Burwell
Most planning applications in Burwell are dealt with by East Cambridgeshire District Council.
We can advise on the planning implications of your proposal and prepare the drawings and supporting information necessary for submission to the council.
Services include:
Householder Planning Applications
Full Planning Applications
Lawful Development Certificates
Permitted Development assessments
Prior Approval applications
Planning feasibility advice
Design and Access Statements
Planning Statements
Heritage Statements
Listed Building Consent applications
Conservation Area projects
Applications for new dwellings
Planning amendments and variations
Where appropriate, we can also review the planning history of your property and surrounding sites. Nearby approvals can sometimes provide useful context when assessing what form of development may be acceptable.
Building Regulations Drawings in Burwell
Once the design and planning stages are complete, most building projects require a considerably greater level of technical information before construction begins.
Dan Page Architectural Services prepares detailed Building Regulations drawings and specifications explaining how the proposed building work is to be constructed.
Information can cover:
Foundations
Ground and upper floors
External walls
Roof construction
Insulation and thermal performance
Structural openings
Fire safety
Ventilation
Drainage
Accessibility
Construction details
Building Regulation specifications
Structural engineers and other specialist consultants can also be coordinated where their input is required. This provides your builder and Building Control with a much clearer technical package than planning drawings alone.
Architectural Services Around Burwell

Fordham has seen considerable residential development and remains a popular location for extensions, replacement dwellings and new-build projects. Its mixture of established homes, village properties and newer housing creates opportunities for both domestic alterations and residential development.

Swaffham Prior
The distinctive village of Swaffham Prior contains a mixture of historic buildings and more modern properties. Extensions and alterations often require careful consideration of village character, neighbouring properties and heritage constraints.

From Initial Ideas to a Buildable Design
You do not need to know exactly what you want before getting in touch. Many projects begin with a general requirement such as:
“We need another bedroom.”
“The kitchen is too small.”
“We want to open the house into the garden.”
“Could we extend over the garage?”
“Can we build another house on the land?”
The first stage is to understand the property, your priorities and the planning constraints before considering the options available. From there, Dan Page Architectural Services can provide the level of assistance your project requires, including:
Initial advice and feasibility → Measured survey → Design → Planning application → Building Regulations → Construction drawings and specifications.
