Do I need planning permission for an extension in London?
Some extensions fall under Permitted Development rights, but larger projects or those in conservation areas in London will require full planning permission. We can assess this for you.
How long do architectural drawings take?
Typically, we can produce initial drafts within 1-2 weeks after the site survey, depending on the complexity of your London property.
Do you submit the application to the council?
Yes, we act as your agent, submitting the application and dealing with any queries from your local London borough council.
Maintaining Your Design Integrity
Once your London project is built, maintenance is key to preserving the design.
- Check flat roofs and box gutters annually, common in London extensions.
- Ensure ventilation systems are working to prevent damp in older brick properties.
- Monitor party walls for any settling cracks post-construction.
Seasonal Planning Tips
In London, the best time to start the design process is 3-4 months before you intend to build. Winter is ideal for planning, allowing construction to begin in Spring when the weather improves.
Avoid These Design Mistakes
Ignoring Light
London winters are dark; failing to maximize natural light is a major error.
Underestimating Costs
Always budget for structural steel and party wall surveyors in London.
Skipping 3D
2D plans can be misleading; 3D helps avoid costly on-site changes.
Our Design Promise
We guarantee that our drawings meet all technical standards required for Building Regulations approval. If the council requests technical amendments, we make them at no extra cost.
