This is quite possibly one of the most challenging decisions you will ever make, so seeking expert professional advice from the very outset is vital.

Architects are equipped with the knowledge necessary to advise on the correct procedures which must be followed if an appeal is lodged, planning permission is refused, or if you need to appeal against a condition of the permission.
Reputable architects will know which materials and construction systems meet the
requirements for each stage of the building and can also advise on cost effective solutions with regard to national building regulations.
Building regulations can be a nightmare for the uninitiated as there are substantial lists of building standards and codes of practice. Even for those who already have some knowledge of building, the expert advice of an architect is essential in ensuring that your project is fully compliant.
