We handle your entire planning application — drawings, forms, fees, Planning Portal submission and every conversation with the council — so the only update you get is the decision. Start with a free approval-odds score built from live council data.
(£625 if you supply measured drawings)
Planning application drawings (householder), most homes sit between the starting price and a higher band for larger schemes
Fixed in writing after a free assessment of your property. Council planning fees are separate.
Every price is the total you pay. Checked 24 October 2026.
One team takes your project from first phone call to decision notice. Here is the whole journey — you can be as involved, or as hands-off, as you like.
Share your postcode and plans. We score your approval odds against live decision data from your borough and tell you honestly whether to apply, amend the scheme, or use permitted development instead.
We survey your property and produce the full drawing pack — existing and proposed plans, elevations and site plans — prepared by chartered professionals to your council's validation checklist, usually within 7 days.
We complete the application forms, calculate the correct planning fee, compile supporting documents and submit everything through the Planning Portal to your local planning authority.
We monitor the application, respond to your case officer's queries, negotiate amendments and revise drawings free of charge until the council issues its decision.
Submitting a planning application yourself sounds simple until you meet the reality: a validation checklist that differs in every London borough, application forms with certificates of ownership that must be legally correct, a fee schedule that changes with project type, and a Planning Portal upload that rejects wrongly scaled PDFs. Roughly one in five applications is bounced back at validation — before a planner has even looked at it — because something in the paperwork is wrong. Each bounce costs weeks.
Our planning application services exist to remove every one of those failure points. We have submitted applications to all 33 London boroughs and the surrounding Home Counties authorities, so we know which councils demand roof plans, which want daylight assessments, and which case-officer teams respond to a phone call rather than an email. Your application goes in complete, correct and argued in the language of your borough's own local plan policies.
Then we stay on it. When the case officer raises a question — and on most applications they do — we answer it the same week, amend drawings if needed, and keep the 8-week determination clock moving. You get one point of contact, plain-English updates, and a decision notice at the end. That is the whole service.
Tell us about your project and get a fixed, no-obligation quote back within one working day. If you don't need planning permission at all, we'll tell you that too — for free.
To submit a planning application in London you need scaled drawings, a completed application form with the correct ownership certificate, the council's planning fee and any documents on your borough's validation checklist. In full, a valid householder application requires:
One fixed scope, one team, no surprises. If the council asks for it, we handle it.
We recommend the right route — householder, full, prior approval or a lawful development certificate — based on your project and your borough's decision record.
Chartered planning drawings plus every supporting statement your council's validation checklist demands, compiled into a single submission-ready pack.
Application forms completed correctly first time, ownership certificates checked, and the exact planning fee calculated so validation cannot reject on paperwork.
We upload, submit and confirm validation, then send you the application reference and a link to track it — the moment it is live.
All correspondence with the planning department handled for you, from validation queries to negotiated amendments, with free drawing revisions throughout.
When approval lands, we explain your conditions and, if you want, produce the building regulation drawings your builder needs to start on site.
Across London and the Home Counties, homeowners use our planning application handling because it turns an 8-to-12-week bureaucratic obstacle course into a single decision notice arriving in their inbox.
Every project and borough is different, so we quote each application individually and guarantee a fixed, no-obligation quote within one working day. The quote covers drawings, forms, submission and case-officer liaison, with free revisions until the council decides — and we will tell you upfront if you do not need to apply at all.
We typically have your drawings and paperwork submission-ready within 7 days of the survey. Once submitted and validated, your council has a statutory 8 weeks to determine a householder application. Because we submit complete and correct first time, you avoid the validation rejections that add weeks to DIY applications.
Yes — completely. We create and manage the Planning Portal submission, upload correctly formatted drawings, complete the national application form, arrange the fee and confirm validation with your council. You receive the application reference and tracking link, and never have to log into the Portal yourself.
Yes. Once your application is validated we become the agent of record, so all planning department correspondence comes to us. We answer case-officer queries, negotiate amendments and revise drawings free of charge, keeping you updated in plain English until the decision notice is issued.
We review the refusal reasons, amend the scheme and resubmit — with drawing revisions free of charge. Most London refusals are resolved through targeted changes rather than appeals, and many councils offer a free resubmission within 12 months. We stay with you until you have a decision.
It depends on your project, property and borough — many extensions and loft conversions proceed under permitted development instead. Our free approval-odds check tells you which route applies before you spend anything, and where permitted development works we prepare a lawful development certificate so the legality is documented for future buyers.
All 33 London boroughs — from Barnet to Bromley, Ealing to Havering — plus Home Counties authorities across Surrey, Kent, Essex, Hertfordshire and Berkshire. Because we track live approval data for every local planning authority, your application is argued in the terms your specific council responds to.
