Plans and Drawings

As a general rule plans and drawings should be of a quality required for listed building consent to assist a full understanding of the impact on the building. Usually they will include:

• a set of survey drawings of the building as existing

• floor plans showing proposed alterations

• elevations of the building or relevant parts of it after the proposed alterations, together with an indication of the materials and finishes

• sections showing the levels at which any proposed new floors will be inserted, the means of support, and the effect on windows, doorways, arches and arcades

• a site plan if new access and parking arrangements are intended, and any revision of the landscaping

• a plan showing the introduction of any mains services which will have a substantial effect on the fabric or archaeology of the building site

• an initial archaeological report if there is to be any ground disturbance

All drawings should be to scale and the position of north shown

Details, such as windows, doors, screens and galleries should be drawn to a larger scale. Supporting comments or photographs of the parts of the building affected by the proposals are helpful.
