What do you love most about your job?
Helping people transform spaces from simple extensions to complex planning projects is incredibly rewarding. We enjoy seeing creative ideas become reality while guiding clients through the planning process with confidence and clarity.
What inspired you to start your own business?
After years of working in the planning and design sector, we saw a gap for a truly sustainable, client-focused consultancy that combines architectural thinking, planning strategy, and environmental responsibility under one roof that’s how SENA 7 Solutions was born.
Why should our clients choose you?
We offer a rare blend of planning expertise and design vision, underpinned by sustainability. Our work is not just policy-compliant but future-proof. With clear communication, tailored solutions, and a deep understanding of UK planning, we’re with you from concept to approval.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
Yes — we work with clients across the UK via Zoom, Google Meet, and cloud-based design tools. All drawings, reports, and planning documents can be shared securely online. Site visits are arranged when required, but most of our process is remote-friendly.
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
We offer virtual consultations, avoid unnecessary site visits, and follow all current public health guidelines. Our remote-first approach limits in-person contact while maintaining high-quality design and planning support throughout your project.
Planning Application Support
We handle all aspects of your planning application from initial advice to submission. Our team ensures that your proposals align with local planning policy, environmental considerations, and your project goals. We prepare and submit applications with full supporting documentation, liaising with planning authorities throughout.
Planning Statements & Justification Reports
Our planning consultants prepare robust, policy-driven Planning Statements and Design & Access Statements. These documents are critical for validating your proposal, particularly in complex or sensitive areas. We translate technical planning policy into clear justifications for your development.
Architectural Drawings for Planning
We produce high-quality concept and detailed architectural drawings tailored to UK planning standards. These include proposed site plans, floor plans, elevations, sections, and roof plans suitable for house extensions, renovations, or new-builds.
Site Feasibility & Early-Stage Advice
Not sure if your site is suitable for development? We offer site appraisals and feasibility studies that assess planning risk, site potential, policy restrictions, and sustainable development options helping you make informed decisions before committing to a project.
Planning Appeals & Resubmissions
If your planning application has been refused, we offer expert guidance on planning appeals, re-designs, or resubmission strategies. We’ll identify key planning issues, prepare a revised case, and improve your chances of success with the local authority.
Measured Surveys for Extensions or Renovations
We carry out measured site surveys and produce base drawings for your extension, loft conversion, or renovation project. These form the foundation of all accurate and compliant design work for planning submissions.
Building Regulations Drawings (Limited Scope)
We can produce Building Regulations drawings and details for simple residential projects. For complex projects, we collaborate with building control consultants and structural engineers to ensure full compliance.
Urban Design & Masterplanning
For larger or community-led projects, we develop site layout plans, spatial frameworks, and small-scale masterplans. We focus on placemaking, sustainability, access, and land use efficiency. Ideal for infill sites, mixed-use proposals, or community developments.
3D Visualisation & Concept Modelling
We create high-quality 3D visualisations and digital concept models to bring your development ideas to life. These visuals help clients, planners, and stakeholders understand the scale, layout, and aesthetics of a proposal before it's built.
Nature-Based Solutions for Development
We integrate nature-based solutions (NbS) into planning and design to enhance biodiversity, manage climate risks, and promote long-term sustainability. Our services include:
• Green infrastructure planning (e.g., green roofs, rain gardens, permeable surfaces)
• Landscape-led development that protects ecosystems and enhances open space
• SuDS (Sustainable Drainage Systems) design integration
• Tree and habitat retention strategies in early site planning
• Biomimicry-inspired site layouts and material use
• Net biodiversity gain and ecosystem services planning for planning submissions
We help clients turn environmental obligations into opportunities for innovation, place quality, and planning success.
Net-Zero & Sustainable Design Advisory
We specialise in low-carbon, nature-based, and passive design strategies. Our team provides tailored advice to help you meet national climate goals and build resilience into your development — from green roofs to biodiversity integration.
Design for Listed Buildings & Heritage Areas
Working in conservation areas or on listed properties? We provide sensitive design proposals and statements of heritage significance, ensuring your application respects local character and complies with heritage policies.
Neighbourhood or Community Planning Support
We assist parish councils, community groups, and housing co-ops with spatial plans, engagement strategies, and planning advice. Our team can support neighbourhood plans, design codes, or affordable housing initiatives aligned with local needs.
