Q: I can sketch my drawings will that be good enough for the planning application?
A: It is a requirement of the planning application process to submit scale drawings of the proposed modification. Many people are perfectly happy to sketch out their ideas, but most do not have the facilities to draw these at the required scale. This is where we can help. We will visit your property to discuss your proposed development, taking site sketches, measurements and photographs to support the Application process.
A draft copy of the plans will be forwarded to you for your approval. Final copies can then be supplied in electronic and paper format. For planning applications in paper format, five copies of all documents are required (planning application form, scale drawings and OS map). Most of the local planning authorities in England & Wales will now accept drawings submitted electronically (providing the planning application drawings in this way saves both time and costs). Once we have sent you a draft copy of your drawings we will make any required alterations and there will be no cost to yourself until you are happy with our work. Following submission of the planning application, should any minor alterations be required by the Planning Officer then these will be supplied electronically at no extra cost. We will supply you with an Adobe (.pdf) copy of the approved drawing.
Q: Do your fees include council planning and building regulation fees ?
A: The Planning fee and Building Regulation fees made payable to the Local Authority are in addition to our fees. We will advise you of the costs in writing prior to making the submissions. Planning is usually £150.00 (Certificate of Lawful Permitted Development £75.00) with Building Regulation fees between £150.00 - £225.00 based on an average sized extension or loft conversion.
