Planning & Building Regulation Drawings

Planning Permission Drawings:

Our architectural services include surveying houses, creating accurate scaled drawings of existing properties, and working up full-scaled planning application drawings.

Planning Permission is usually required if you intend to alter the appearance of your home in any way with an extension, conservatory or loft conversion or should you wish to change the use or divide part of a building for use as a separate dwelling.

Building Regulations:

The purpose of building regulations is to safeguard people's safety, health, and welfare in and around buildings; building regulations approval is required to include but are not limited to building extensions, loft conversions and converting garages into habitable rooms

We produce detailed construction drawings with comprehensive information for building regulations approval and the construction team. New buildings and most alterations to existing properties require approval from the Building Regulations Officer or Inspector.

Lease/Title Plans:

Title plans are created to support the property description in the register by providing a graphic representation & identifying the general extent of the land in a registered title.

Lease plans are accurate drawings that identify what land areais included in the lease. You may be required to have a lease plan for selling your property.
