Planning drawings, Building Regulations drawings and measured surveys
North Home Design Ltd prepares the drawings your extension, loft conversion, new build or conversion needs to get through planning and building control – plus build over agreements with the water company.
What we do
We are a UK architectural design practice working with homeowners, landlords, developers and builders. Every project starts with an accurate survey and ends with a clear, buildable set of drawings.
Planning drawings
Existing and proposed plans, elevations, sections, site and location plans for householder, full and change of use applications – including lawful development certificates for permitted development schemes.
Building Regulations drawings
Detailed construction drawings and specifications covering structure, fire safety, insulation, drainage and ventilation, ready for the local authority or an approved inspector.
Measured surveys
Site-measured or laser-scanned surveys of the existing building converted into clean CAD floor plans, elevations and sections – the base for every good design.
Build over / near agreements
If your foundations come within 3 m of a public sewer you need the water company’s consent before you build. We prepare the drawings and manage the application.
How it works
1. Tell us about the project
Send us the address and what you want to build. We reply with a fixed-fee quote and a realistic timescale.
2. Survey
We measure the existing property and check the planning history, constraints and any conservation or Article 4 restrictions.
3. Design & drawings
You review the proposed drawings and we revise them until you are happy, then we prepare the submission pack.
4. Submission & approval
We submit to the council, building control or the water company and deal with their questions until a decision is issued.
Wherever your property is
We work with councils across England and Wales. The survey is carried out by a local surveyor from our SURWAY network – or, for simpler projects, from your own measurements, which we check before we draw. Same accuracy, same fixed fee, wherever you are.
