What does a drawing package actually cost?

Our fixed fees start at £840 for the Essentials package, £1,225 for an extension or loft planning set and £1,575 for a mansard. The statutory application fee is separate and identical everywhere in England: £548 for a householder application. Listed building consent carries no application fee at all.

Sources: our own published fixed fees, and the Town and Country Planning (Fees for Applications) (England) Regulations 2012 as amended, 2026 rates. Both retrieved 1 September 2026. The statutory fee is paid to the council, not to us, and it does not vary between boroughs; pre-application advice is priced by each council separately and sits outside the regulations.

Is the property in a conservation area?
Properties in conservation areas usually need a full planning application (not permitted development). We recommend the Bespoke package for heritage-sensitive projects.
Is the property listed?
Listed buildings require Listed Building Consent in addition to planning permission. Our Bespoke package includes heritage impact assessments and specialist documentation.
