Planning drawing packages we prepare

The exact set depends on the project and application route. We focus on giving the local planning authority a clear, consistent drawing package that explains the existing property, the proposed work and how the design relates to its surroundings.

House extension planning drawings

Rear, side return, wraparound and two-storey extension plans with the elevations and sections needed to explain the proposal clearly.

Loft conversion planning drawings

Dormer, mansard, hip-to-gable and roof alteration drawings for planning permission or lawful development routes.

Outbuilding and garden room drawings

Site and building drawings for garden structures where planning permission or formal confirmation is needed.

Conversion and remodelling drawings

Existing and proposed layouts for garages, flats, HMOs and residential reconfiguration where planning controls apply.

New build planning drawings

Plans, elevations, sections and site layouts for individual homes, infill plots and small residential development proposals.

Planning revisions and officer responses

Updated drawings where design changes are required during the application process, subject to the agreed scope.

Planning permission, permitted development and Building Regulations

Planning permission

Used where the proposal needs formal planning approval. We prepare the existing and proposed drawings needed to communicate the design clearly.

Permitted development / LDC

Some projects can rely on permitted development rights. A Lawful Development Certificate can provide formal council confirmation where appropriate.

Lawful Development Certificate drawings

Building Regulations

Once the design route is settled, technical drawings can take the project forward for Building Control and construction.

Building Regulation drawings

Planning drawings FAQ

What planning drawings are normally needed for a house extension?

A typical householder application usually needs existing and proposed floor plans and elevations, a location plan and a site or block plan. Roof plans and sections may also be required where they help explain height, roof form, levels or massing.

Can WEDRAWPLANS submit the planning application as well as prepare the drawings?

Yes. We can prepare the drawing package, coordinate the application information and submit through the Planning Portal where this is part of the agreed scope.

Do you prepare planning drawings in every London borough?

Yes. WEDRAWPLANS covers every London borough and selected surrounding M25 areas for residential planning drawings, extensions, loft conversions, conversions and small development projects.

What is the difference between planning drawings and Building Regulation drawings?

Planning drawings focus on the proposal's size, appearance, layout and relationship to the site and neighbours. Building Regulation drawings are more technical and show how the work is intended to comply with Building Regulations and be constructed.

Can planning drawings also be used for a Lawful Development Certificate?

Yes, where the proposal is intended to rely on permitted development rights, the relevant existing and proposed drawings can form part of a Lawful Development Certificate application.
