Applying for Planning Permission

Hi All,

You may have seen the thread i have on with my house renovation but ive hit a hurdle.

i want to have a dropped kerb and drive installed but they council are asking for planning permission to be submitted as it faces onto a categorised road.

They are asking for a 1:100'th scale drawing of the current state and the proposed state of the building. i have no idea how to go about this as esentially all that is going to change is that i'll have a dropped kerb installed and half of my exterior wall removed.

Do these drawings have to be CAD drawings and if so what can i use to do them or is hand drawn okay as long as its to scale?

Any help would be appreciated as i havent a clue how to proceed.

Thanks
StevenG

Ive had a quote for the work to be done, it has to be carried out by the council, and single width dropped kerb is £650 to be done by the council in my borough, the planning costs are £170. i have done CAD previously but not drawing plans for this sort of thing.

The only thing really that i need to detail is where exactly in relation to my property the kerb would be dropped and where the trees are along the footpath. the only thing they have specified is that its drawn to 1:100th scale, they haven't specified anything other.

i might give CAD drawing a go and see how things look, if i cant get it to be what it needs to be then i'll have to get someone to do it for me.
