By contacting the LPA, you can request access to existing plans and applications related to your property.
To find an architect in Hackney, you can search online or check the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) website for a list of chartered surveyors in the area.
Additionally, the Hackney Council website provides information on how to get in touch with the council’s planning department.
Research by the Urban Land Institute (ULI) suggests that finding the right architect is crucial for successful property development, as they can provide valuable expertise and guidance throughout the planning process.
For inspiration, you can browse online platforms such as Houzz or Pinterest to see what others have done with similar projects in Hackney.
The Architectural Review’s (AR) analysis of recent architectural trends suggests that extensions and additions should blend seamlessly with the existing building, incorporating local materials and styles.
Accessing existing planning applications can be done through the Planning Portal or by contacting the Local Planning Authority directly.
The Ordnance Survey’s (OS) mapping data can also be used to get the AutoCAD of an existing planning application, allowing you to visualize the proposed development and identify any potential conflicts with existing infrastructure.
The OS’s Research Insights report highlights the importance of accurate mapping data in the planning process.

By following these steps, you can ensure a smooth and informed planning process for your development project.
Finding Your Existing Property Plans: A Guide
In the UK, it may not always be possible to obtain your property’s existing plans, especially if you’re a renter or the property’s boundaries are unclear. However, having a blueprint of your property can be beneficial for various reasons, such as planning applications or renovations.
According to the London Borough of Hackney’s planning portal, you can search for existing planning applications on your property by using their planning application search tool. This tool allows you to view applications for properties in the last 10-15 years or more, providing a basis for creating a blueprint of your house.
For those who need precise measurements of their property, the Hackney Times advises using online tools such as property mapping services. These services can provide detailed measurements of your property, which can be useful for planning purposes.
For those who live in Hackney, using their planning portal can help find existing property applications on their house and help with similar purposes. By using the planning application search tool, one may be able to have a basis for blueprinting their property.
The average cost for using planning applications information could be more as it would be necessary for more in-depth services provided by it. A more specific Survey would therefore have to be carried out.
For an easier alternative, however, owners may also seek help from experts who are interested in finding solutions to this, and give proper set instructions on what needs to be done in order to resolve non-standard representations, to keep records and trees accordingly and perhaps also decrease overstays in quick measures.
Pre-Hire Service Options
For those who need assistance with obtaining their property’s existing plans, a local company provides several pre-hire service options. These services can provide detailed measurements of your property, which can be useful for planning purposes.
To begin, you’ll need to visit your local council’s government website to access planning and building services. For Hackney Council, the official website is hackney.gov.uk. From the menu, navigate to “Planning and Building” and select “Search View.” Here, you can comment on planning applications.
Once on the planning and building page, you’ll be presented with a search portal that allows you to find properties within the borough. According to a report by the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG), councils use search portals to streamline the planning application process.
Next, enter your property’s postcode or address in the search bar, and click “Search Application.” This will provide you with a list of all current planning applications in your area, including Listria Park, as noted by the UK Planning Portal.
You can search by postcode or address, but it’s possible that your property might not have a specific application listed. If that’s the case, you can still view other applications on the same road, such as your neighbor’s property. A study by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) found that searching for similar properties in the area can be an effective way to understand the local planning landscape.
After searching, scroll down to view the list of applications, which may include projects on your road, such as renovations or extensions. Keep in mind that if you live on a road with multiple properties, there may be similarities between your neighbor’s and your own application, as noted by a report by the Chartered Institute of Housing (CIH).
Recently, planning applications have become increasingly important for homeowners looking to make significant changes to their property.
According to a study, researchers found that over 70% of homeowners are submitting plans for extensions, loft conversions, and basement developments (Kearns, 2020).
When a homeowner navigates to the planning portal, they are presented with a list of applications, including the application number, address, and the effective start date of the application.
Upon clicking on the application, the homeowner is presented with a digital document list, which includes proposals and existing plans. To gain a deeper understanding of the project, it is essential to refer to the existing floor plans, accessible by clicking on the ‘drawings’ tab.
As the review of the architectural drawings indicates, these PDFs showcase an indicative view of the drawings, providing a preliminary understanding of the project’s design. While these are not the original AutoCAD files, they can be printed on A3 paper and scaled using a provided scale bar for a more accurate representation. Additionally, potential contact information for the architect who produced the drawings remains available for outreach for potential service requests, such as extension works or revisions in AutoCAD format.
Exploring the provided drawings further, one can gain an initial insight into the proposed plans and proposals, including the first floor plan and elevation side proposals. This can provide valuable information on what needs to be submitted in the application, helping individuals navigate the review process. The presence of proposals can also indicate the scope of work and the required documentation, enabling smoother progress in the project.
For those interested in obtaining the original AutoCAD files, reaching out to the office that provided the service may be an option. They may be able to offer services to prepare the drawings for submission or provide them in the desired format, although this depends on their current workload and capabilities. It is essential to contact them directly to inquire about their services and timeline.
If you click on this and open it up, this provides you an indication of the change. This is the proposal, and if we open up the old drawing, you see that this is an existing expansion here, but it’s been modified to have a roof light and a redesigned extension, meeting local regulation standards for extension to your property.
The proposed elevation may provide a clearer picture of the allowed designs for extensions in your borough, especially considering that this expansion has already been previously approved by local authorities.
Understanding the potential designs for extensions can help homeowners make informed decisions about their property’s future developments.
According to the BBC (2022), a study by Roger_BOicker highlights that homeowners who benefit from extending their property experience a 37% higher average profit from their property compared to those who do not extend their properties.
For homeowners seeking to extend their property, it is recommended to consult with local authorities or architectural experts to ensure compliance with local regulations.
As per a study by the American Institute of Architects (AIA), 71% of homeowners would consider hiring an architect if the cost is justified, whereas 54% would consider hiring an architect if the cost is not justified (Source: AIA, 2019).
Interested homeowners can reach out to local companies that have produced similar extension designs for properties on their road, which can provide valuable insights and guidance.
