I recently worked with AC Design Solution for a building extension, and the service was outstanding from start to finish. Communication was clear and prompt, and every stage of the process was explained in a way that was easy to understand. The engineer provided thorough calculations and practical advice that helped keep the project running smoothly and within budget. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and willingness to answer questions made the whole experience stress-free. I would highly recommend their services to anyone planning a building extension.

I appointed AC Design Solutions for a challenging new build project - demolishing an existing house and replacing it with 7 new flats in Isleworth. The team provided a comprehensive service including architectural design, structural engineering calculations, building regulations drawings, and preparation of all the technical reports required for planning (drainage, energy, daylight/sunlight, arboricultural, etc.). The project was taken to Hounslow Planning Committee and we achieved unanimous approval on the first attempt. AC Design Solutions were very responsive throughout, handled all the pre-application consultations, and prepared a strong case that addressed all the planning concerns. Their knowledge of local planning policies and building regulations was excellent, and they coordinated all the specialist consultants we needed. The building regulations drawings were detailed and compliant, ready for submission. I would highly recommend AC Design Solutions for residential development projects in West London. Really pleased to have these guys on my team - they are absolutely on the ball, and I look forward to doing many more projects with them in expansion of my portfolio.

Had a great experience with AC Design, the customer service was great and they responded to our questions promptly. Turnaround for designs were quick too. I especially appreciated having a call with the engineer as it helped us understand why the designs were constructed in a certain way. Highly recommend this company if you require structural drawings done

With excellent communication and quick turnaround, they designed a floor plan that will allow more light to come to the bedrooms. I am impressed by how they sectioned the rooms and even managed to create a large study. Based on my experience, I would like to recommend their service.

Free planning data tool

Search planning
applications by postcode

Most homeowners and developers have no idea what their local planning authority has approved or refused nearby — until a project hits a wall. This tool changes that.

Enter any UK postcode and instantly see real planning decisions from councils across England. Filter by decision status, radius and date, and link through to the full application on the council portal — all without creating an account.

Whether you are assessing feasibility for an extension or a loft conversion, understanding what has been approved nearby is the sensible first step before commissioning house extension drawings.

Without checking

Going in without the data

  • × No idea what the council has approved or refused for similar properties
  • × Unaware of refusal patterns that could sink your application
  • × No sense of how planning officers treat specific extension types locally
  • × Spending on drawings before understanding the local planning climate
  • × Finding out too late that a scheme has been refused twice on your street

Data is the starting point — design is the next step

Knowing what the local authority has approved nearby gives you the confidence to move forward — or the evidence to rethink before spending anything on drawings.

If your search shows strong approval rates for the extension type you have in mind, the next step is understanding what your own property can specifically achieve. Our Extension Potential Checker combines nearby planning data with permitted development limits, conservation area flags and flood zone checks to give you a property-level feasibility snapshot in minutes.

From there, our architectural services team takes you from initial feasibility through to a full planning submission. We produce building regulation drawings for local authority submission alongside single storey, double storey and flat conversion schemes. Our structural engineers coordinate directly with the design team so nothing falls between the gaps.

If you need a party wall surveyor alongside your project, that sits under the same roof. Use our build cost calculator for an early budget sense, or contact the team directly for a same-day fixed fee quote.
