Drawings & Design Plans for Loft Conversions & Extensions

Designing or producing drawings or plans for a loft conversion or house extension is not something we can do in an afternoon. Before we start the design & drawing process, we need to look at your property, and take measurements and carry out a survey of the existing building, so that we have an idea of the scale, room available, etc. Once we have had a look, and carried out the survey, we would then discuss your ideas with you, prior to designing the loft conversion drawings & plans, or house extension drawings.

Planning permission is generally not required for most loft conversions as they can be constructed in accordance with Permitted Development, the loft conversion drawings & plans and extension drawings must comply with the Building Regulations and structural requirements (if applicable) Draft 2 Design Ltd has a wealth of experience to produce the kind of loft conversion / extension design and loft conversion drawings & plans that will get through the various stages of Local Authority approvals required – we have very good relationships with both Eastbourne Borough Council and Wealden District Council.

Planning permission may be not required for smaller rear house extensions, but for larger scaled projects, including two story extensions, planning permission will certainly have to be carefully considered when carrying out the design plans & drawings.

If Planning Permission is required then be rest assured that our plan drawing services include for producing all the necessary plans for submission to the Local Council. Production of the loft conversion & extension plans & drawings would usually take up to 3 weeks from instruction including the measured survey, and the submission and approval stage usually takes up to 8 weeks.

Throughout the process we would keep you informed, ensuring that you are satisfied with the drawings & plans for your loft conversion or house extension.
