- Reasonable revisions within the original agreed project brief during the active design and review stage.
- Council-ready drawings in professional CAD, issued digitally.
- A first draft normally within 7–10 days once we have the completed self-survey and all project information reasonably needed to start, and either you have expressly requested early commencement or the 14-day cancellation period has ended.
People call this different things. Planning drawings, planning application drawings, planning permission drawings — it is one set of scale drawings under three names, and it is what the Standard, Retrospective and Enhanced packs produce. The PD Compliance Pack produces the same drawings, but in service of a Lawful Development Certificate rather than a planning application. If you were quoted for one wording and are now reading another, you are still in the right place.
The other phrase that comes up is architectural drawing services, which is a fair description of the work, with one distinction worth being straight about: architectural describes the type of drawing, not the title of the person producing it.
