Planning

  • Can you obtain planning permission for my project?

    Yes. We will prepare all the necessary information and drawings required for your project and submit your application to your local council as your agent. You will be liable for the fee, which you will have to pay directly to your local authority.

    As your agent, we will liaise with the council on your behalf with any queries or requests that they have.

  • What do you mean you will submit my Planning Application?

    We will purchase an Ordnance Survey map of your property, complete all the drawings. Then fill in all your Planning Application forms, prepare all the relevant documentation and submit them to your council for checking, logging ourselves as ‘Agent’. We will then send you instructions of how to pay your application fee directly to the council. During the consideration process, we will chase up the council. This ensures a decision is reached promptly and will communicate everything to you along the way.

  • Why can’t I find a cheap Architect for Planning Drawings?

    Architects charge what seems like a lot of money for their drawings but in reality, you are not only paying for their drafting time. Architects spend time speaking with you on the phone, then at your house, then measuring your property and taking survey notes, drawing sketches and taking photos. They will then spend considerable time producing different designs and then ‘back-and-forthing’ with you to reach a final architectural design for planning drawings. Once drafted, they will then submit the planning permission drawings for planning approval and building regulations approval. They may also then project manage the build on site and liaise with the contractor to ensure everything gets built as per the plans.

  • How do I get cheap planning drawings online?

    1) Can measure or have already measured their house
    2) Have photographs of their house
    3) Know exactly what extension design or loft conversion design they want
    4) Are happy to find a builder themselves and keep an eye on the work themselves once the build starts

  • Are your Planning Drawings the same as an Architect’s Drawings?

    YES. The online planning drawings you receive from us will be exactly the same as the planning permission drawings you can get from your local Architect. The only difference will be that the online planning drawings you get from us will arrive faster and will be much, much cheaper.
