My partner phoned planning who weren't very helpful we have to submit drawings, we can get drawings from our structural engineer for our house and maybe get floor plans and side elevation of a kit house from a kit company do you think this would be enough?

If I were requesting pre-application advice from planners for something like this, I would just sketch a site plan myself, provide relevant photos, and a description of the proposed house (no of storeys, no of bedrooms, approx size of footprint etc).

The site plan (i.e. view from above) would show

- the boundaries of your property
- where your current house is
- where you want the new house
- where the road is
- where you want the access to the new house
- where the parking would be
- where other adjacent houses are

The plan mainly needs to be good enough for a planner to be able to look at their own OS property maps to see where you mean. (But don't print off any type of map from the internet, as that will be copyright.)


Plus I ask EAs' opinions. I don't necessarily follow their advice - but they give it for free, because they want my business.
