Package
Planning Route Review
A paid route check before drawings or applications.
£395 inc. VAT
Credited against the full package if you proceed.
Prices shown are package prices or from-prices for the stated scope, not deposits, unless the package specifically says it is a credited route review.
We review your address, selected works and constraints, confirm the likely drawings and application route, and prepare a fixed-fee scope for your planning drawings or application package.
Who this is for
Anyone who is not yet sure of the route, or whose project is larger, listed or sensitive — a low-commitment way to confirm the right package before bigger fees.
What’s included
- Review of the address, designations and planning history
- Confirmation of the likely drawings and application route
- A fixed-fee scope for the full package
- Credited in full against the package if you proceed
What’s not included
- Planning or building regulations drawings (these form the package the route review scopes)
- Measured building survey (arranged separately unless specifically included)
- Council / Planning Portal application fees (paid directly to the local authority)
- Specialist reports (arboricultural, daylight/sunlight, flood risk, basement impact, etc.) unless specifically listed
Expected next step
We send a fixed-fee scope for your planning drawings or application package; the £395 is credited against it if you proceed.
Important caveats
- This is a paid review, not a full planning drawings package — no drawings are produced and nothing is submitted at this stage.

How this package fits into your project programme
Every drawing and planning package is prepared by our in-house architectural designers, architects, and structural engineers from our Hampstead studio (Unit 3 Palace Court, 250 Finchley Road, London NW3 6DN). Before any drawing work begins, we verify the property's borough planning history, conservation area appraisal, Article 4 status, and listed building register entries so the submission addresses the exact policies your case officer or freeholder surveyor will assess.
Where your project subsequently moves into Party Wall notices, Building Regulations Full Plans approval, or on-site construction, our team coordinates directly with our sister companies Hampstead Chartered Surveyors & Building Consultancy and Hampstead Renovations — backed by comprehensive group insurance cover including £5M Public Liability, £10M Employers' Liability, and Contractors' All Risks (CAR) insurance.
