Draft 2 Design Ltd
Draft 2 Design Ltd is based in Hailsham, near Eastbourne, East Sussex. We are happy to talk to any business or individual both in Sussex, West Sussex, Kent, & Surrey, who need the expertise in designing and producing the required the design drawings and plans for their building, extension or new build projects. Our usual projects include loft conversion drawings and plans, house extension drawings / plans and new build drawings / plans for both the residential and commercial sectors.
Right from the outset we will aim to fit in with the budget of the client and produce the drawings / plans for Planning & Building Regulations to suit. If funds are tight we will draw our extension plans around the needs of the client, and aim to reduce the overall cost. We do not simply produce the plans or drawings for the loft conversion or extension; we can also help with the overall design & planning of a loft conversion or extension or new build project.
Planning permission is generally not required for most loft conversions as they can be constructed in accordance with Permitted Development, the loft conversion drawings & plans and extension drawings must comply with the Building Regulations and structural requirements (if applicable) Draft 2 Design Ltd has a wealth of experience to produce the kind of loft conversion / extension design and loft conversion drawings & plans that will get through the various stages of Local Authority approvals required - we have very good relationships with both Eastbourne Borough Council and Wealden District Council.
Planning permission may be not required for smaller rear house extensions, but for larger scaled projects, including two story extensions, planning permission will certainly have to be carefully considered when carrying out the design plans & drawings.
If Planning Permission is required then be rest assured that our plan drawing services include for producing all the necessary plans for submission to the Local Council. Production of the loft conversion & extension plans & drawings would usually take up to 3 weeks from instruction including the measured survey, and the submission and approval stage usually takes up to 8 weeks.
