What is a set of architectural drawings?

Planning and building regulations in Bridlington
Before anything is built in Bridlington, we confirm which approvals apply in England. In England drawings are prepared to suit the local planning authority’s validation list and, later, building control.
Building regulations approval comes from the council’s building control service or a registered building control approver. The work is inspected at key stages, such as foundations, drainage and insulation, and a completion certificate is issued at the end.
At the survey we check your house’s planning history and any restrictions, and tell you which route applies.
What we handle
Handled as part of most architectural drawings:
- Structural calculations coordinated
- Party wall drawings where needed
- Planning drawings: plans, elevations, site and location plans
- Measured survey of the existing house
- Building regulations drawings and specification
- Design options and sketch layouts
How long does it take?
Allow 2 to 6 weeks for drawings, depending on complexity. If the drawings are for a planning application, add the council’s decision period once they are submitted.
