Get professional planning drawings prepared by local experts. At SurvEssex, we create high-quality architectural plans tailored to your project type—whether you’re building an extension, converting a loft, or starting a new build. Our planning drawings are suitable for all manner of residential developments across Essex, from small upgrades to full-scale construction projects.

🏠 What Are Planning Drawings?
Planning drawings are detailed, scaled architectural plans required when applying for planning permission or a lawful development certificate. These drawings allow your local council to understand and assess the design, scale, and impact of your proposed works.
They typically include:
Existing and proposed floor plans
Elevations (front, rear, side views)
Roof plans (where applicable)
Site location and block plans
Key dimensions, scale, and materials
🧩 Types of Residential Projects We Support
We prepare planning drawings for a wide range of residential projects, including:
House Extensions – rear, side, wrap-around, and multi-storey
Conservatories and Orangeries
Porches
Loft Conversions – with or without dormers
Garage Conversions
Garden Rooms and Outbuildings
New Build Homes
Conversions into Flats
HMOs (Houses in Multiple Occupation)
No matter the size or scope of your project, our Essex-based design team ensures every drawing set is compliant, clear, and ready for submission.
We Make Measuring Effortless
No tape measures. No handheld lasers. We use LiDAR scanning technology — the same used in self-driving cars — to capture your home with millimetre precision. That means zero guesswork, zero stress, and a perfect foundation for your plans.
We create your Drawings
We turn your scan into ultra-precise, council-ready drawings — typically within 10 working days. The level of accuracy we provide is unrivalled by most traditional methods.
We Handle Everything Until You’re Approved
Our agents manage the entire application process — from submission to decision. We deal with the council on your behalf, so you don’t have to chase updates, respond to queries, or deal with any of the stress.
