Planning Application Drawings
Planning Application
Drawings.
We produce coordinated existing and proposed drawing packages from the survey information, design direction and project requirements supplied by your practice.
Each drawing set is confirmed against the agreed scope, presentation standards and required output before production begins.
Your practice retains the client relationship, design authority, professional responsibility and control of the submission.

What we need to begin.

Design direction
Clear sketches, mark-ups or instructions showing the proposed change.

Your title block, layer names, sheet naming and required file standards where applicable.

Where information is incomplete, we will identify what else is required during scope review.
Process
How the service works.
The complete operating workflow is explained on the Process page. For a Planning Application drawing package, the main stages are:
Share the project information
Send the available drawings, survey information, photographs, design direction and relevant project requirements.
Scope and commercials are confirmed
We review the information and confirm the drawing set, responsibilities, fee or credit allocation and turnaround.
Drawing production begins
The package is produced to the agreed scope, supplied design direction, title block and file standards.
Check, delivery and agreed revisions
The drawing package is checked before delivery. Revisions included within the confirmed scope are then completed where applicable.
Ways to Engage
Use the service for one project or recurring production capacity.
Project-based
A Planning Application drawing package can be quoted for a defined project requirement without a monthly commitment.
The drawing set, responsibilities, fee and turnaround are confirmed before production begins.
View Project-Based PricingMonthly Drawing Plan
Architecture practices with recurring drawing-production requirements may use the Monthly Drawing Plan where the project falls within the confirmed plan scope.
A Planning Application drawing package accepted within the Monthly Drawing Plan scope uses one drawing credit.
View the Monthly Drawing PlanLarger, complex or non-standard projects may require separate scope review and project-based pricing.
Quality Control and Scope
Checked before delivery.
Clearly defined responsibility.
The review is limited to the agreed drawing-production scope.
What we check
- Coordination between plans, elevations and sections
- Existing and proposed information
- Dimensions and annotation
- Openings and drawing consistency
- Sheet references and title blocks
- File naming and agreed presentation standards
- Obvious drawing omissions within the agreed scope
Scope boundary
The drawing set is confirmed following scope review.
Your practice remains responsible for design decisions, professional sign-off and submission unless a separate service has been expressly agreed.
Planning permission is not guaranteed.
Specialist surveys, reports, supporting statements, structural calculations and consultant information are separate unless expressly included in the agreed scope.
Drawing-production quality control does not constitute planning approval, Building Control approval, structural-engineering approval or another professional or regulatory approval.
Who This Is For
For businesses requiring dependable planning drawing capacity.
This service is intended primarily for architecture practices, architectural designers, design-and-build firms and contractors.
Suitable direct residential commissions may also be considered following scope review.
Project-based work and recurring Monthly Drawing Plan capacity are both available.
