REQUEST PLANNING DRAWINGS

Professional Planning Drawing Services in Lambeth

Planning applications rely on accurate drawings that clearly show the existing property, the proposed development and how the project relates to the surrounding site. At AA Drafting Solutions, we prepare planning permission drawings for submission to Lambeth Council and other local planning authorities. Our drawings are designed to be clear, detailed and suitable for review by planning officers.

We can also support your planning application after the drawings are complete, helping with preparation, submission and communication with the council where required. Need more than planning drawings? Explore our full range of Architectural Services in Lambet.

What Our Planning Drawings Include

Your planning drawing package will depend on the type and complexity of the project. In most cases, it includes:

  • Existing floor plans
  • Proposed floor plans
  • Existing and proposed elevations
  • Site location plan
  • Block plan
  • Roof plans, where required
  • Section drawings, where required
  • Design notes or supporting information, where required
  • PDF planning submission pack

Our aim is to provide a complete, well-presented drawing package that gives your planning application the best possible foundation.

Extension Planning Drawings in Lambeth

If you are planning a home extension in Lambeth, we can prepare the drawings needed to support your planning application.
We regularly produce planning drawings for:
  • Single-storey rear extensions
  • Double-storey extensions
  • Side return extensions
  • Wrap-around extensions

Our drawings are prepared to clearly show the scale, layout and appearance of the proposed extension, helping Lambeth Council understand the impact of the project.

Flat Conversion and HMO Planning Drawings

Flat conversions and HMO projects require careful planning from the outset. The drawings need to show how the building will be divided, how the internal spaces will work and how the proposed use will meet relevant planning and design expectations.
AA Drafting Solutions prepares planning drawings for:
  • House-to-flat conversions
  • Multi-unit residential layouts
  • HMO conversions
  • Room layout plans
  • Shared facility layouts
  • Access and circulation plans
  • Supporting drawings for landlords and developers
We can also help you consider key issues such as space standards, natural light, access, fire safety and practical long-term use.

New Build Planning Drawings

For new build projects in Lambeth, we provide planning drawing packages that clearly communicate the proposed design, site layout and relationship to neighbouring properties.
Our new build planning drawing services can include:
  • Site feasibility drawings
  • Proposed floor plans
  • Elevation drawings
  • Section drawings
  • Site layout plans
  • Massing and layout concepts
  • Supporting drawings for residential or small commercial development
Where required, we can also help coordinate with structural engineers, drainage consultants, energy assessors and other technical specialists to support the wider planning and pre-construction process.

Change of Use Planning Drawings

If you are changing how a property is used, you may need planning permission before works can begin.

We prepare change of use planning drawings for residential, commercial and mixed-use properties across Lambeth. This may include converting commercial space into residential use, changing a property into flats, or adapting an existing building for a new purpose.

Our drawings clearly show the existing and proposed layouts, helping demonstrate how the change of use would work in practice.

Retrospective Planning Drawings

If work has already been carried out without the correct planning permission, you may need a retrospective planning application. AA Drafting Solutions can prepare retrospective planning drawings for completed or unauthorised works, helping you regularise the development and provide Lambeth Council with the information needed to assess the application. We can review the existing situation, prepare accurate drawings and advise on the likely planning submission requirements.

This includes reviewing the project requirements, preparing the planning drawing package, assisting with application documents and submitting the application where required.
