Architectural design services for planning and beyond
Architecture Services .
From feasibility study to planning application drawings, we develop clear, site-tested designs.
Our architectural design services take a project from an early concept through to a full set of planning application drawings. We work closely with clients to understand what they want from a scheme, then develop designs that balance ambition with what is realistically achievable on site.
Planning application drawings and design and access statements
We prepare planning application drawings to the standard required by local planning authorities, alongside supporting documents such as design and access statements where these are needed to support an application.
Our architectural design consultants aim to present a scheme clearly, helping planning officers understand the thinking behind a design rather than just the drawings themselves.
From feasibility study through to detailed design
Many projects start with a feasibility study, testing whether an idea works on a particular site before moving into more detailed conceptual design work. This helps avoid unnecessary cost later if changes are needed.
Because our architect for planning permission work sits alongside TAG’s wider surveying and engineering services, design decisions can be tested against real site information from an early stage.
“TAG is a great company to do business with that isn’t just reliable – it’s one that understands your objectives and constraints.”
We offer a full range of architectural services to support Planning Applications, including:
- CAD Layout
- House type floor plans and elevations
- Facing materials plan
- Surface material plan
- Adoptable plan (if required)
- Enclosure plan
- Design & Access Statements
- Site sections
- Perspective to show the dwellings within the surrounding street scape
- Street scenes showing how the new dwellings will look within the vicinity.
FAQs About Architecture Services
Architectural design services typically include feasibility studies, concept design, planning application drawings and supporting documents such as design and access statements.
A design and access statement explains the thinking behind a planning application, including how the design responds to the site and how access has been considered. Many local authorities require one for certain types of application.
While not always a legal requirement, working with an architect for planning permission generally improves the quality and clarity of an application, which can support a smoother planning process.
This depends on the complexity of the scheme. We will give you a realistic timescale once we understand your project and what is needed for the application.
Yes. We are happy to pick up a project at any stage, whether that is early feasibility work or preparing planning application drawings from an existing concept.
