How Much Do Planning Application Drawings Cost?

Planning application drawings typically cost between £500 and £1,500. The final price depends on factors such as project complexity, property size and the level of detail required.

For instance, a single-storey extension might require only a basic elevation and floor plan, while a multi-unit residential development may need detailed sections, site plans and environmental impact assessments. Larger or more complex projects may also necessitate a topographical survey or 3D modelling to accurately depict proposed changes.

Prices can also vary depending on local planning requirements and whether heritage or conservation area considerations apply. Our transparent pricing ensures you know what to expect from the outset.

What Types of Planning Application Drawings Are Available?

We offer a range of planning application drawings to suit different project requirements, each tailored to provide precise information required by local planning authorities:

Site Plans: Detailed layouts of the proposed development site including boundary lines, existing structures, and any proposed changes. These plans often comply with the scale of 1:200 or 1:500 as required by [local council] regulations.
Floor Plans: Comprehensive plans showing the internal layout of the building, indicating room dimensions, door and window locations, and staircase arrangements. They are vital for both residential and commercial projects, ensuring the functional flow of spaces.
Elevations: Drawings that depict the building's exterior appearance from all sides, including height measurements and the finished look of materials like brick, render, or cladding.
Sections: Cross-sectional views providing detailed insight into the building structure, including ceiling heights and floor thicknesses. These are crucial for understanding the relationship between different building levels.
Roof Plans: Illustrations of the roof layout and related features, such as pitches, valleys, and roof lights, often drawn to 1:100 scale for accuracy in roofing design.

These specialised drawings help ensure your application meets all statutory requirements by providing a clear overview of the proposed project. Contact us to discuss how we can support your planning application needs.

What Regulations Apply to Planning Application Drawings?

In the UK, planning application drawings must comply with local authority guidelines, building regulations, and the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF). These drawings also need adherence to the Town and Country Planning (Development Management Procedure) Order 2015.

Drawings should be to scale, typically at 1:100 or 1:200 for floor plans, and must include details such as site layout, elevations, and sections to provide all necessary information for the planning office to make an informed decision. Inclusion of materials and finishes according to the British Standards Institution (BSI) specifications may also be required.

Additionally, ensuring alignment with the Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method (BREEAM) can enhance sustainability credentials. Our team keeps up to date with the latest regulations to ensure compliance, helping to streamline your project's approval process by minimising delays or refusals.

How Long Do Planning Application Drawings Take?

The creation of planning application drawings typically takes two to four weeks. However, this timeframe can vary based on project complexity, such as new builds versus small extensions, and any modifications requested.

Our process starts with an initial consultation where we gather your requirements and assess site conditions. We may employ CAD software to ensure precision and compliance with local regulations and building codes.

Additionally, 3D modelling can be used to visualise the final design better. If required, we liaise with structural engineers to consider structural integrity and any necessary reinforcements.

Communication and collaboration with local planning authorities are integral to our process, especially for sensitive or listed properties, to ensure smooth approvals. We remain focused on meeting deadlines while preparing your plans efficiently, aligning with RIBA standards.
