Review on behalf of my parents- Mr & Mrs Sparrow We were really struggling to get our Land Registry plans approved due to confusing and unhelpful advice from a solicitor. Then we spoke to Kev — and what a difference! With just one quick call, he clearly explained what needed to be done and suggested we submit both our own and our neighbour’s plans together. Thanks to his expert advice, everything was approved straight away. He completed the plans quickly, efficiently, and at a very reasonable price. No stress, no hassle — just a great service from start to finish. Absolutely brilliant. Highly recommend Kev to anyone needing Land Registry Compliant Plans.

Kevin is flexible, listens to what has been asked. He is knowlegeable about ideas and suggestions and gives you leave options. The plans were clear to read and were done to a professional high standard. If you live in Essex and want a good value price then Kevin is the man to contact. My plans were submitted on Monday as the price is going out and they were done in a timely manner.

Kev from Surv Design was incredibly helpful when we needed land registry compliant plans drawn up for our leasehold property. After a couple of months when our buyers solicitor came back asking for revisions to be made, we received these within a couple of days. Thank you Kev for making a stressful process much easier! We are very grateful for your time and help!

Kev and the team have been amazing at working with me to ensure my planning application goes through smoothly. I live in a conservation area so it was daunting to even begin the process but Kev put me at ease straight away. Communication has been great and I would highly recommend Surv Design.

My experience in dealing with Mr Kev Miller of Essex Architects and Party Wall Surveyors is one of thankfulness. Having discussed my problem with Kev, which he fully understood, I sent him some follow-up details which were used by him to give a quick response. I am extremely grateful for his time, knowledge and understanding in dealing with my problem.

What Makes Us The Gold Standard?

Planning Drawings Done Properly. Without the Stress.

Need planning drawings for your extension, loft conversion, garage conversion or other home improvement project? We prepare clear, accurate planning drawings designed to give your project the best possible start.

At Surv Design Associates, we help homeowners turn ideas into properly prepared plans that are ready for submission. From the initial survey through to the final drawing package, we keep the process straightforward, practical and easy to understand.

We do not believe in overcomplicating things. You tell us what you want to achieve, and we prepare planning drawings that are tailored to your property, your goals and the requirements of your application.

What Are Planning Drawings?

Planning drawings are the plans and elevations used to show your proposed development as part of a planning application or lawful development application. They help the local authority understand what exists now, what you want to build, and how the proposal will look once completed.

These drawings typically include existing and proposed floor plans, elevations, site information and any supporting details needed for submission.

In short, they are the documents that turn your idea into something the council can properly assess.

What We Can Prepare Planning Drawings For

We prepare planning drawings for a wide range of residential projects, including:

  • Single storey extensions
  • Double storey extensions
  • Rear and side extensions
  • Wraparound extensions
  • Loft conversions
  • Garage conversions
  • Porches
  • Outbuildings and garden rooms
  • Internal alterations linked to planning applications
  • New build house plans

Whether you are at the very early ideas stage or already know exactly what you want, we can help move things forward.

A Simple Service From Start to Finish

When people start looking into planning drawings, they are often met with vague pricing, slow turnaround times and a lot of unnecessary jargon. We prefer to do things differently.

Our service is designed to be clear and practical from the outset. That means:

  • Fixed prices agreed upfront
  • Measured property surveys
  • Accurate existing and proposed drawings
  • Advice on the most suitable route for your project
  • Revisions where needed
  • Help with the planning submission process

We aim to make the whole process feel manageable, not overwhelming.

Measured Surveys First. Drawings Second

Good planning drawings start with accurate information.

Before we prepare your plans, we carry out a measured survey of the property so the drawings are based on what is actually there — not guesswork, not rough dimensions, and not old estate agent details. This gives you a more reliable foundation for the design and helps reduce errors later in the process.

It also means your builder, planning officer and anyone else involved can work from drawings that make sense.

Designed Around Real Homes and Real Projects

Every property is different, and every client has different priorities. Some people want more family space. Some want a better kitchen layout. Some need a home office, an extra bedroom or a more practical ground floor arrangement.

That is why we do not take a one-size-fits-all approach.

We prepare planning drawings around the way you actually want to live, while also keeping a close eye on what is likely to work in planning terms. The result is a scheme that is both practical for you and sensible from an application point of view.

We Help Take the Headache Out of Planning

For most homeowners, the hardest part is not the idea itself. It is knowing what is required, what can be built, what needs permission and what the next step should be.

That is where we come in.

We help you understand the process, prepare the drawings, and guide you through what is needed for submission. If your project needs to go through the planning process, we can help make sure the drawings are properly prepared and ready to go.

Why Choose Surv Design Associates?

There are plenty of companies offering drawings online, but not all drawing services are equal.

Clients choose us because we focus on producing practical, accurate plans with a straightforward service to match. We combine measured survey work with planning drawing preparation, and we do it in a way that is easy to follow from start to finish.

With Surv Design Associates, you get:

  • Clear fixed pricing
  • Accurate measured surveys

  • Help through the application stage
  • A service built around real projects and real people
