Explore six illustrated planning documents
Householder planning
Six documents in an extension pack.
The scenario. Sarah is adding a single-storey rear extension to her terraced house at 24 Alder Grove, Camden. Her architect draws the plans; she buys the maps and fills in the form. These six documents illustrate the scenario, with details annotated in gold. The actual checklist depends on the application and local requirements.
Example: illustrative documents, not real submissions. Sarah, her address and every sheet below are illustrations drawn for this page.
Plan · 1:1250Example
Location plan
Shows where the site sits in the neighbourhood, with the whole application site outlined in red. Validators look for the red line, a north point and a stated scale, the three details annotated on the sheet.
Plan · 1:500Example
Site plan (block plan)
The plot in close-up: the house, the proposed extension footprint, and measured distances to the boundaries so the council can see exactly what goes where.
Drawing · 1:100Example
Existing elevations
The house as it stands today, drawn to scale from the outside. The council compares this against the proposed drawings to understand what actually changes.
Drawing · 1:100Example
Proposed elevations
The same view with the new work picked out, here the single-storey rear extension in emerald, with its height dimensioned and the drawing scale stated in the title block.
Drawing · 1:100Example
Existing + proposed floor plans
The internal layout before and after, side by side: the new footprint in emerald and the removed rear wall shown dashed, so the change is unambiguous.
Form · completedExample
Householder application form
The application itself: applicant, site address, a plain-English description of the proposal, the ownership certificate, and a signature. Every section completed, with no blanks for the council to query.
