Frequently Asked Questions
Planning drawings are more focused on the overall design and compliance with planning regulations, while architectural drawings are typically more detailed and focused on the construction specifics. Our planning drawings provide what’s needed for your planning application, and if required, we can recommend further architectural services.
Our planning drawings are suitable for submission directly by you or through your architect. They are designed to meet the necessary regulatory standards, but if you need assistance, we can work alongside your architect or planning consultant to ensure everything goes smoothly.
In most cases, our planning drawings are sufficient for submission to your local authority. However, some projects may require additional technical drawings or specifications. If this is the case, we can discuss these needs and help facilitate any further requirements.
If there are changes required to your design or specific details you would like adjusted, please let us know. We’ll need to make revisions to any planning drawings so that your local authority sees and can approve your exact design, not your previous one, which may have some distinct differences.
