Bhavesh Ramburn
Co-founder
Author of the planningpermission.co guides on UK planning permission and permitted development rights.
Background
Bhavesh Ramburn is the co-founder of Icelabz Solutions Ltd, an independent surveying practice working with homeowners, architects, developers, and contractors across London and the UK. On planningpermission.co he authors plain-English guides on UK planning permission, permitted development rights, and the application process handled by your local planning authority.
Icelabz is working towards RICS firm regulation in 2027. Until then, the regulatory and statutory interpretation guidance on this site is editorial; for project-specific advice on a particular application, consult a chartered town planner or your local planning authority directly.
What this site covers
planningpermission.co focuses on the homeowner side of UK planning — house extensions, loft conversions, outbuildings, permitted development allowances, lawful development certificates, and the householder planning application process. It is not a surveying service; for measured building surveys, topographical surveys, setting out, monitoring surveys, or 3D laser scanning, please contact Icelabz Solutions Ltd directly.
