UK Planning Application

The type and number of drawings you need to submit with your planning application will vary according to the nature of the proposal and the type of application. For a domestic extension you usually need to include the following architectural design drawings with your submission:

• An ordinance survey-based location plan at a 1:1250 scale
• A site plan at a 1:500 scale
• All elevations at a 1:100 or 1:50 scale
• Floor plans at each level at a 1:100 or 1:50 scale
• A roof plan at a 1:100 or 1:50 scale
• Context drawings and other representations

We also serve you by delivering assistance in planning applications that can be submitted to the planning portal. Planning applications are a series of legal processes that enable the board to decide if you are to go on with your project or not. As you would expect, our experience sets you at an advantage as we know all that is to be known about the design and drawings needed for applying.

EXTENSION

An extension to your property will allow you to use the most of your space, and increase your property value. Whether a home or a commercial property, an extension can be an additional room on the top of your garage, or a porch to the rear of your home or even a conservatory to add luxury to your home. At JMVC CSE we have done over 300 extension projects, in compliance to local codes. Our structural engineers will produce the construction drawings and design calculations for your Building Regs requirements.

NEW BUILD

Do you have a new build project? If you want a new flat building, detached house, semi-detached property, terraced house, or even a cottage, patio, or bungalow, then our structural engineers are at your service. JMVC CSE structural engineers will design, plan and oversee the construction of new buildings or other structures. We will make sure the building and structures are safe and capable of withstanding the forces to which they will be exposed. We will give you the calculations, designs, reports, and technical advice needed for your new build, in accordance to all regulation codes.

A loft conversion will change your unused attic to a functional space, from a new bedroom, a home office, a library or any new living space. Depending on the type of roof type, our engineers will guide you on the structural factors required, to allow your space to be used easily and effectively. JMVC CSE engineers will advise on whether rafters should be strengthened, or additional supports added, or if you need to replace ceiling joists and much more. Our engineer’s design always comply with the Building Regs and will point you in the right direction.
