Planning Drawings Chelmsford - The Highest Quality Plans at Prices That Won't Break The Bank...

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.

Planning Drawings in Chelmsford – Drawn to Get Approved, Built, and Done Right

Got plans for a home extension, loft conversion, or full renovation in Chelmsford? Then the first step isn’t a hammer — it’s a solid set of planning drawings. The kind that actually get approved, that builders respect, and that don’t get stuck in endless back-and-forth with the council.

That’s what we do at SurvDesign. From city centre plots to leafy Great Baddow semis, we’ve helped hundreds of Chelmsford homeowners get plans drawn up and projects moving — without the stress.

Why Proper Planning Drawings Matter on Canvey Island

It’s easy to think any set of plans will do — but trust me, for projects on Canvey Island, the difference between adequate and professional planning drawings is huge. Planning applications here must account for local flood zones, conservation areas, and Essex county guidelines. That’s where the right drawings unlock project potential and smooth the journey from concept to build.

Because of local council nuances and site-specific factors, detailed and accurate drawings reduce back-and-forth. From the initial survey to your tailored design, we blend your vision with practical realities and planning compliance specific to Canvey Island properties.

Why Planning Drawings Matter More Than You Think in Chelmsford

Getting the drawings right from the start makes all the difference. Whether you’re in Springfield, Writtle, or Beaulieu Park, Chelmsford City Council expects drawings that are accurate, detailed, and compliant — not just pretty sketches on a page.

We blend precision with practicality. Using LiDAR scanning, we survey your property down to the millimetre and produce clear, accurate plans tailored to Chelmsford’s specific planning rules. That means fewer delays, fewer surprises, and a smoother route from idea to approval.

We Know Chelmsford’s Planning Process Inside Out

We’ve worked on countless properties across Chelmsford — extensions in Moulsham, loft conversions in Galleywood, and even full redesigns in Writtle — and we know what the planners like to see.

From flood zone checks to conservation area design tweaks, we bake the local quirks into every drawing, so your submission hits the ground running.

What You’ll Get with Our Planning Drawings Service

Here’s what’s included with every Chelmsford planning project:

  • Precise, high-tech LiDAR survey of your property

  • Council-ready application documents and submission

  • Unlimited revisions if the council requests changes

  • Optional building regs drawings if you’re ready to move ahead

We don’t leave loose ends — everything’s included so your builder, architect, and the council all work from the same page.
