House Extension Drawings & Planning applications 

Planning a house extension? Simple Plans provides professional architectural drawings for single-storey, two-storey, side and rear extensions, helping homeowners turn their ideas into practical designs.

We offer a complete service, from measured surveys and initial designs through to planning applications and Building Regulations drawings. We can also manage your planning application through to a decision, helping to make the process as straightforward as possible.

Based near the Wiltshire and West Berkshire border, we work with homeowners across Swindon, Newbury, Hungerford and the surrounding areas. 

What Drawings Do You Need for a House Extension?

The drawings required for a house extension depend on the size and nature of the proposed work. Some extensions can be carried out under permitted development rights, while others require a householder planning application.

Simple Plans prepares accurate existing and proposed floor plans, elevations, sections and site plans to support planning applications and Certificates of Lawfulness. We can also prepare detailed Building Regulations drawings and specifications to help you obtain Building Control approval before construction begins.

We can advise on the most appropriate route for your project and provide the drawings and application support needed at each stage.

Why Choose simple plans ?

When you contact Simple Plans, you’ll deal directly with me, Jon, from our first conversation through to the completion of your drawings and planning application.

I know that extending your home can feel like a big undertaking, particularly if you’ve never been through the planning process before. My job is to help you work out what’s possible, explain the options clearly and produce drawings that turn your ideas into a practical design.

I’ll visit your property, discuss what you want to achieve and consider any planning restrictions before putting together a design. If planning permission is required, I can prepare and submit the application, deal with questions from the council and manage the process through to a decision.

I also prepare Building Regulations drawings and specifications, so I can continue helping as your project moves towards construction.

My approach is straightforward: sensible advice, clear drawings and someone you can actually speak to when you have a question.

Simple Plans drew up some great professional plans for me at short notice and submitted the Planning Application for me too. Very reasonable price and took the stress out of it for me. Definitely give them a call!

We contacted Jonathan and explained what we thought we wanted for our extension . He was very helpful and produced drawings of various alternatives for us to look at. He was happy to make whatever changes we asked and the new drawings were returned promptly for comment. The service we received was professional, efficient and friendly.

We contacted Jonathan after speaking to other architects who wanted to impose their designs as opposed to what we wanted. Jonathan visited our home listened to our requirements and produced exactly the design we talked about. As the name says Simple plans, not over complicated designs somebody else wanted. We would not hesitate to recommend his company to anybody. His manner was also very pleasant and helpful, and secured our planning approval quickly with no fuss. THANK YOU Jonathan.

“I would highly recommend using Jon’s services for your build. He designed our extension, oversaw our planning application, and helped us obtain quotes leveraging his extensive experience and knowledge. He was a fantastic partner throughout the whole process, going above and beyond the job spec – always on hand to advise, very cost conscious and gave the impression that nothing was too much trouble. As newcomers to building work he gave us the confidence to execute on a substantial build which has transformed our home.

At the outset Jon listened to our ideas, suggested some great ideas of his own and came up with a design that could be executed based on our budget and planning constraints in our area. He generated drawings for the planning application and his strong knowledge of regulations ensured our application was completely trouble free and permission was granted quickly. We literally did nothing as Jon oversaw the whole process.

Jon also generated technical drawings for us which we used with builders to get detailed, comparable quotes and his advice at this stage on the best design and where to save money was invaluable. His drawings were so good that our builder now uses them on the landing page of their website.

Jon was also able to advise on structural engineers and once the build started was on hand if the builder had any questions regarding his designs.

We would definitely use Jon for any future projects and would love the opportunity to fully leverage his design capabilities.”

“We used Jonathan to design our single storey, side and rear wrap around kitchen extension and we’re so pleased with the results. From the very start, and in a very professional manner, Jonathan took our ideas and translated them from a rough design into a practical project. Not only did he provide invaluable ideas and insight for the project, but he suggested ways in which to make our initial design even better, and showed us how we could really maximize the space, light and impact of the extension.

As well as providing a creative spark, Jonathan also advised us on the best use of materials and the environmental impact of these decisions, which was really important to us.

Jonathan also advised us on building regulations and legislation, and assisted us in gaining planning permission for the build. The excellent service he provided made our build as hassle and stress free as possible, and we couldn’t be happier with the results.”
