planning applications built on clear drawings and strategy.
We prepare architectural planning applications for homes, extensions, replacement dwellings, small developments and change-led projects.
Planning success depends on more than drawings. We help shape the brief, identify policy issues, coordinate supporting information and communicate the proposal clearly.
Planning-led architectural work.
One consistent LXW process, shaped around the specific approval route, design risk and technical information your project needs.
The planning route should be considered early, before design time is spent on a scheme that cannot be justified.
We review the planning context, develop a strategy, prepare drawings and coordinate the submission material needed for the application.
For more complex sites, we can work alongside planning consultants, ecology, heritage, highways, drainage and other specialists.
How we help
- Planning feasibility review
- Pre-application material
- Planning drawings
- Design and access statements where required
- Local authority submission support
- Planning condition coordination
a clear route through the work.
Constraint review
We check the key planning constraints, site history and policy issues before confirming the most suitable route.
Design development
The proposal is refined so scale, massing, appearance and site layout can be justified.
Submission package
We prepare the drawing set and supporting architectural material needed for validation and review.
Application support
We support responses to reasonable planning queries and help coordinate follow-on information where needed.
what you can expect.
Deliverables are tailored to the agreed scope, project stage and statutory approvals required. These are the typical information packages for this service.
Planning Material
- Location and block plans
- Existing and proposed drawings
- Design and access material where required
- Planning statements or consultant coordination where required
Management
- Validation support
- Local authority correspondence
- Planning condition advice
- Revision support by agreed scope
approval routes matter.
We keep the wording here conservative because planning policy, permitted development and building control requirements depend on the property, location and current regulations.
- GOV.UK guidance states that planning permission is likely to be needed for new buildings, major changes such as extensions, and changes of use.
- Local planning authorities decide applications against the development plan and other material considerations.
- Unauthorised works can lead to enforcement action, so checking the route early is important.

common questions.
Can you submit the planning application?
Yes. We can prepare the architectural material and manage the submission process as part of the agreed scope.
Should I get pre-application advice?
It can be useful for sensitive or uncertain projects. We will advise when pre-application advice is likely to add value.
