Common Questions
Planning Application Design & Drawings FAQs
What drawings do I need for a planning application?
A typical planning application requires a location plan (1:1250), a site plan (1:500), existing floor plans and elevations, proposed floor plans and elevations, and a design and access statement. Depending on the project, you may also need sections, a roof plan, and a daylight assessment. We prepare all required drawings as part of our complete package.
How much do planning application drawings cost?
Planning application drawings typically cost between £2,500 and £8,000 depending on the size and complexity of the project. A simple single-storey extension may cost £2,500–£4,000, while a full house redesign with multiple elevations and sections may cost £5,000–£8,000. We provide a fixed quote after the initial consultation.
How long does a planning application take?
Once submitted, most planning applications are determined within 8 weeks. Preparing the drawings and submission typically takes 3–6 weeks depending on the scope. So from start to decision, you should allow 3–4 months. We keep you updated throughout and liaise with the planning officer on your behalf.
What is your planning approval rate?
We have a 95% planning approval rate across all our applications. This is because we prepare thorough, accurate drawings, write comprehensive design statements that address local policy, and engage with planning officers early to resolve any concerns before determination.
