Mixed use drawings prepared for planning strength, layout clarity and long term development value
Mixed use schemes can unlock significant value from a building, but they are rarely straightforward. They need careful planning of access, circulation, frontage presentation, commercial function, residential quality and the relationship between different uses within the same property. A weak drawing package can make the proposal look confused. A strong one helps clarify the scheme from the outset.
WEDRAWPLANS prepares mixed use drawing packages for landlords, developers, investors and property owners across London. Whether you are restructuring a shop with flats above, reorganising a ground floor commercial unit, improving upper floor residential accommodation, or preparing a wider development strategy, we help present the building clearly and professionally for planning and onward project coordination.
Mixed use buildings often need a drawing team that understands both commercial requirements and residential expectations. The scheme must work for the business use, for the living space, and for the wider appearance of the property. Our approach is to prepare measured, balanced and practical drawings that help the whole proposal read as one coherent project.

Frequently asked questions
What is a mixed use building?
A mixed use building combines more than one use within the same property, such as commercial space at ground level with residential accommodation above, or a configuration that combines different operational elements under one overall scheme.
Can you help with shop and flat arrangements?
Yes. This is one of the most common mixed use scenarios. We can prepare measured surveys, existing and proposed layouts, elevations and planning drawings to help the whole building arrangement read clearly.
Can you help where the upper floors need reconfiguration?
Yes. We regularly prepare drawings where the upper floors need to be reorganised, converted or improved as part of a wider mixed use planning strategy.
How quickly can you start?
We can usually arrange an initial survey within 48 hours in most cases, then move quickly into drawing production once access and project scope are confirmed.
