EXTEND OR ADAPT YOUR HOME

House extension drawings & planning applications.

Planning support for home extensions, loft conversions and alterations across North & East London, Cambridge and Huntingdonshire.

Start with the right route

Some home improvements can use permitted development rights; others need a householder or another planning application. We review the property, proposal, planning history and local restrictions before recommending a route. Flats and maisonettes require a separate assessment.

From £1,500 including VAT

£1,250 + VAT for a straightforward extension or alteration.

Measured survey, planning drawings and application management are included within the agreed scope. Complex, listed or heritage-sensitive projects receive an individual quote. Council and Planning Portal fees are additional.

Within your agreed planning package

  • Initial review of your proposal and planning route
  • Measured survey and existing/proposed planning drawings

Questions before you start

Do you provide drawings and measurements?

Yes. We provide measured survey and planning drawing services. Your written quotation sets out the survey area, drawing package and revision allowance for your project.

Can we start with an online meeting?

Yes. The initial online consultation is free. We can discuss your ideas, review the information you have and explain what is needed before you commit to a paid service.

Are council fees included?

No. Council application fees and any Planning Portal charge are separate from our professional fees. We identify the applicable charges for your application before submission.

Can you guarantee permission or a decision date?

No. The local planning authority determines the application. We explain the risks, prepare the agreed submission and manage correspondence; neither approval nor the council’s decision date can be guaranteed.

I do not know which application I need.

That is a normal starting point. Choose “Other / not sure yet” on the enquiry form and describe what you want to do. We will discuss the appropriate next step with you.

Your drawing package, explained

We confirm the drawing schedule before you appoint us. It identifies the existing and proposed floor plans, elevations, site location and block plans needed for your application, together with any sections or supporting documents required for the proposal.

Your quotation states which drawings are included, the measured survey extent, revision allowance and expected preparation programme. Planning drawings explain the proposal for the application; construction details, structural design and Building Regulations work are separate services.
