Planning Applications

We prepare all planning drawings, documents, and design statements required for submission to your local authority.

Our experience includes:

• • House extensions and loft conversions (including permitted development and larger home extensions)
• • Planning refusals and resubmissions
• • Change of use (including F1/D1 to C3, HMOs, and commercial conversions)
• • Green Belt proposals and lawful development certificates
• • Dropped kerb and vehicle access applications
• • Extractor and ventilation system approvals

We combine detailed technical knowledge with a clear understanding of local planning policy to improve approval outcomes and reduce delays.

Building Regulations & Technical Drawings

After planning approval, we produce Building Regulations drawings and specifications to ensure compliance with UK Building Control requirements.

Our packages typically include:

• • Construction drawings and notes
• • U-value and material specifications
• • Coordination with structural engineer and drainage layouts
• • Submission to private or local authority Building Control

Every detail is prepared with clarity so that builders can quote accurately and build confidently.

Typical Fees

Fees depend on the project’s scale and complexity, but as a guide:

• • Full planning + building regulations package – around 8–10% of construction cost
• • Planning-only drawings – around 3% of construction cost
• • Building regulations drawings – around 2–3%

Example:
For a £200,000 extension, a full design and technical package would typically cost around £16,000–£20,000, while a planning-only service would be around £6,000.

Philosophy

“We believe successful projects start with clear communication and accurate information.
Our role is to make the planning and technical process straightforward — balancing design ambition with practical delivery and local policy.”
