Every great oak-framed building begins with a clear, confident plan. At English Heritage Buildings, our planning drawings are the foundation of your project, and the first step in transforming your vision into an approved design ready for construction.
Created by our in-house design team, these detailed drawings capture every element of your bespoke oak-framed building, ready to submit to your Local Planning Authority. They ensure your design not only looks beautiful but also meets all relevant planning requirements and guidelines.
To help you get your project off the ground, we offer a Planning Drawings Package for just £499 + VAT. And when you go ahead with your frame order once planning permission is granted, we’ll deduct the full amount from your frame price.
Why Planning Drawings Matter
Planning drawings can often be essential for getting approval to build. These professional documents give both you and your local planning department a complete understanding of your proposed structure, its size, layout, and appearance in relation to your property and surroundings.
For many homeowners, the planning process can feel daunting. Our role is to make it simple. With over 30 years of experience designing and manufacturing premium oak-framed buildings, we understand exactly what Local Planning Authorities look for. Every drawing we produce is created with care, precision, and an understanding of planning requirements, helping to minimise delays and ensure your application proceeds smoothly.
By requesting a set of our planning drawings, you can be confident your submission will:
- Comply with all relevant regulations, giving you peace of mind before construction begins.
- Clearly communicate your vision to planning officers, builders, and architects alike.
- Save valuable time and reduce stress by getting things right the first time.

Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between planning drawings and architectural drawings?
Planning drawings are designed to gain approval from your Local Planning Authority. They focus on how your building looks, its dimensions, and its relationship to your property. Architectural drawings, by contrast, contain detailed construction information used during the build itself. Our planning drawings include everything needed for a successful planning application.
Can I submit my planning drawings myself?
Yes. Our drawings are suitable for submission directly to your Local Planning Authority, or they can be handled by your chosen architect or consultant.
Will I need additional drawings?
For most oak-framed buildings, our drawings will include all the necessary information for planning approval. In some cases, your local authority may request further details, and we can help facilitate these if required.
Can I make changes to my planning drawings?
Of course. If you’d like to adjust any details before or after submission, simply let us know. Our design team can make the necessary revisions to ensure your drawings reflect your exact vision and meet your planning requirements.
