Design Your Next Home Upgrade – Extensions, Loft Conversions

Yes. MyHomePlans regularly combines house extensions and loft conversions as part of a single coordinated project. This approach ensures your home’s layout, structure, and aesthetic remain cohesive rather than appearing as separate add-ons. Combining projects can significantly improve both planning outcomes and the efficiency of construction.

A combined design allows for holistic spatial planning, ensuring internal circulation, natural light, and structural integrity are carefully considered. For example, a side extension might provide space for a larger kitchen, while a loft conversion above creates additional bedrooms or a master suite. Planning these together ensures the staircase positions, ceiling heights, and rooflines are harmonised, avoiding costly rework later.

We also ensure that the design complies with planning permission and building regulations requirements. Many homeowners assume that extensions and loft conversions are independent, but councils often consider cumulative changes. By submitting coordinated plans, we can reduce the risk of rejected applications and improve your project’s success rate.

Our service is fully online, meaning clients can manage combined projects remotely, providing photos, dimensions, and site data digitally. Revisions and feedback are handled through our secure platform, ensuring clear communication at all stages.

Whether you want internal reconfiguration, roof dormers, rear or side extensions, or a full-scale transformation, MyHomePlans produces approval-ready drawings that cover planning, building control, and construction. Our designs are practical, buildable, and visually balanced.

Choosing a combined approach is also cost-efficient. Contractors can plan works sequentially, reducing disruption, and you can often obtain better pricing when the design is prepared in one coherent package.

Perfect for: homeowners seeking significant improvements, property investors wanting maximum value, and developers who need streamlined approval-ready designs.

Yes. MyHomePlans is a 100% online architectural service, designed to provide professional planning, design, and building regulations solutions without the need for in-person meetings. This is ideal for busy homeowners, landlords, overseas clients, and developers who require fast, reliable, and high-quality architectural services from anywhere in the world.

Our online process covers initial advice, concept design, planning drawings, building regulations documentation, and revisions, all delivered digitally. Clients can upload site photos, surveys, or measurements through a secure portal, enabling our team to produce accurate, approval-ready drawings.

The advantages of using a fully online service include speed, flexibility, and cost-effectiveness. Traditional architectural services often involve multiple site visits, lengthy communication, and additional travel costs. With MyHomePlans, all communication, file sharing, and design approvals occur online, reducing delays and streamlining project management.

We have extensive experience providing services for UK-based projects, international homeowners, and expatriates managing properties remotely. Our team understands the challenges of coordinating construction and approval processes across borders and ensures the drawings meet local planning and building standards wherever possible.

All designs are delivered in high-resolution PDF and CAD formats, suitable for submission to planning authorities and builders. This ensures that even complex projects like multi-storey extensions, dormer loft conversions, or bespoke new build homes can be managed remotely with confidence.

Perfect for: clients wanting professional architectural solutions without leaving home, international investors managing UK properties, and homeowners looking for convenience, efficiency, and compliance.

Yes. MyHomePlans provides professional planning permission drawings prepared to local authority validation standards across the UK. Whether you require a householder application, full planning application, or residential development drawings, our team ensures your submission meets council requirements.

Planning permission drawings typically include site plans, floor plans, elevations, and sections, all clearly labelled with dimensions, materials, and design details. For extensions, loft conversions, or new build homes, we also produce visual representations that help planning officers assess the project accurately.

Our drawings are suitable for all council types, from urban planning authorities to rural local councils, and are designed to minimise the risk of objections or revisions. We also advise clients on permitted development rights and when a Lawful Development Certificate may be applicable, saving time and application costs.

We provide guidance throughout the submission process, including advice on neighbour notifications, planning constraints, and policy compliance. This helps clients avoid common mistakes that can delay approvals or require costly redesigns.

Perfect for: homeowners, landlords, and developers needing clear, accurate planning drawings for successful council submissions.

Yes. MyHomePlans provides comprehensive building regulations drawings, ensuring that all aspects of your project comply with UK regulations. Building regulations drawings are required for most extensions, loft conversions, and new build projects to ensure structural safety, fire protection, insulation, drainage, ventilation, and accessibility standards are met.

Our drawings include structural details, stair and headroom specifications, insulation requirements, drainage layouts, fire safety measures, and technical compliance notes. By providing these documents, we make it easier for building control officers to approve your project and for builders to construct safely and efficiently.

We also advise clients on when building control approval is required, which parts of the project may be self-certified, and how to submit applications digitally. This ensures a smooth progression from design to construction with minimal delays.

Perfect for: homeowners upgrading their homes, developers building multiple units, or investors managing construction remotely.

Yes. MyHomePlans works with a wide range of clients, including homeowners, landlords, property investors, and developers. Our services are flexible enough to cater to single projects like a loft conversion for a family home, or larger multi-unit developments for professional property investors.

For homeowners, we focus on maximising space, improving functionality, and enhancing property value. Whether it’s a rear extension, side extension, dormer loft conversion, or bespoke internal reconfiguration, our designs are tailored to meet lifestyle needs and future-proof the property.

Landlords and property investors benefit from our expertise in planning and building regulations compliance, which helps maximise rental income and property appeal. For example, adding a loft conversion or a garden office can significantly increase rental yields without extensive structural changes.

Developers receive full support for plot developments, new build homes, and multi-unit projects, including outline planning drawings, full planning submission packs, and building regulations documentation. Our team ensures that every design is practical, buildable, and aligned with local planning standards.

All services are delivered 100% online, making it easy to collaborate remotely. Clients upload measurements, photos, or site plans, and we provide revision-friendly digital designs. This approach is ideal for overseas clients or those managing multiple projects simultaneously.

MyHomePlans also offers guidance on permitted development rights, Lawful Development Certificates, and council compliance, helping clients avoid delays and reduce risks.

Perfect for: anyone seeking professional architectural support, whether for a single home improvement, rental property optimisation, or large-scale development.

Yes. Many homeowners assume they always need full planning permission for an extension, but some projects fall under permitted development rights. MyHomePlans assesses your property, council policies, and project details to determine whether your proposed works qualify.

Permitted development can cover side or rear extensions, loft conversions, or single-storey additions without the need for full planning applications. However, there are limits on size, height, and proximity to boundaries, and conditions vary by property type and location. Our experts ensure your design complies with all permitted development rules, avoiding unnecessary council submissions.

Where required, we also prepare Lawful Development Certificate (LDC) drawings, confirming that your project is legally permissible. This is particularly useful for overseas homeowners or investors who want assurance before committing to construction.

Designing under permitted development allows for faster approvals, lower costs, and reduced design complexity. We provide clear, buildable drawings suitable for builders, ensuring compliance with both planning and building control requirements.

Perfect for: homeowners seeking minor or moderate extensions, loft conversions, or garden buildings that fall within permitted limits.

Not always. Whether you need planning permission depends on your project’s type, size, and location. Small single-storey extensions may qualify under permitted development, while larger works, loft dormers, or projects in conservation areas often require full planning applications.

MyHomePlans provides a comprehensive assessment of your property and advises on the correct route. We prepare planning drawings if required, ensuring council approval is achievable, or we produce permitted development drawings for faster implementation.

For loft conversions, the key considerations include roof height, proximity to neighbours, and external appearance. Extensions are judged on size, impact on neighbouring properties, and compatibility with planning policies. We guide clients through these requirements, reducing the risk of refusal or redesign.

All drawings are prepared professionally and accurately, giving you confidence whether you’re submitting to a local council or building under permitted development.

Perfect for: homeowners who want certainty on planning requirements for extensions or loft conversions.

Yes. Lawful Development Certificates (LDCs) confirm that your extension, loft conversion, or alteration is permitted development and therefore legally acceptable. LDCs are particularly useful for properties in sensitive areas or when planning history is unclear.

MyHomePlans produces compliant LDC drawings, including elevations, floor plans, and site layouts, ready for submission to the council. This ensures you have official confirmation that the works are lawful, giving peace of mind before construction begins.

Using LDC drawings can also avoid legal disputes, clarify permitted rights for future owners, and streamline construction approvals. Our team ensures the drawings are accurate, professional, and aligned with council guidance.

Perfect for: homeowners, landlords, and developers seeking certainty on permitted works and legal compliance.

Yes. MyHomePlans specialises in new build homes from plots, providing full architectural services from concept to approval-ready plans. We support outline planning, full planning submissions, and building regulations drawings for single homes or multiple dwellings.

Our service includes:

• Site analysis and feasibility checks 
• Concept designs with layout, room sizes, and orientation optimised

We also advise on energy efficiency, daylighting, modern open-plan layouts, and future-proofing, ensuring the new home is practical, stylish, and sustainable.

Perfect for: self-builders, property investors, or developers starting with land plots and seeking complete online architectural support.

Yes. MyHomePlans specialises in side extensions, rear extensions, and wraparound extensions, tailored to maximise space, improve functionality, and enhance property value. These types of extensions are popular for homeowners seeking extra living space, modern layouts, or additional bedrooms, kitchens, or home offices.

Side extensions are ideal for creating additional ground-floor space without compromising the garden. They work well for semi-detached and detached homes, allowing for larger kitchens, dining areas, utility rooms, or reception rooms. Our team ensures that your design complies with boundary regulations, neighbour considerations, and council guidelines, producing accurate planning and building regulations drawings for approval.

Rear extensions provide more flexibility for open-plan living, often connecting kitchens with living areas. They can include features such as bi-fold doors, larger windows, or glazed roofs to improve daylighting. We design rear extensions to blend seamlessly with your home’s existing structure while maintaining structural integrity and planning compliance.

Wraparound extensions combine side and rear additions, offering a substantial increase in living space. These projects require careful planning to ensure rooflines, foundations, and structural support are correctly integrated. MyHomePlans produces comprehensive drawings, including elevations, floor plans, and sections, for planning permission and building control.

We also advise on whether your extension qualifies as permitted development or requires full planning permission, helping you avoid delays or unexpected costs. With our online service, homeowners, landlords, and developers can manage the project remotely, submitting photos, dimensions, and feedback digitally.

Perfect for: homeowners needing more space, families seeking modern layouts, and property investors aiming to maximise rental or resale value.

Yes. Dormer loft conversions are a highly effective way to increase usable space without extending into the garden. MyHomePlans provides approval-ready dormer drawings, ensuring compliance with planning and building regulations while creating functional, comfortable living areas.

Dormers allow homeowners to add extra bedrooms, ensuite bathrooms, home offices, or studios, making full use of loft space. Our designs carefully consider roof height, headroom, structural support, insulation, and fire safety, providing buildable, practical solutions.

We produce all necessary planning drawings, including floor plans, elevations, and roof plans, tailored to your property type and council requirements. For lofts falling under permitted development, we create compliant drawings that simplify the submission process.

Additionally, our team can coordinate with builders remotely, ensuring that staircases, windows, and roof structures are accurately integrated. The result is a functional, aesthetically pleasing conversion that maximises natural light and enhances property value.

Perfect for: families needing extra bedrooms, homeowners upgrading their loft, and property investors adding high-value space efficiently

Yes. With the rise of remote working, creative studios, and home gyms, garden buildings are increasingly popular. MyHomePlans designs garden offices, studios, gyms, guest rooms, and annexes, tailored to site constraints and planning regulations.

We advise on whether your garden building qualifies as permitted development or requires planning permission. Our designs consider boundaries, access, drainage, foundations, insulation, and building regulations, producing clear, buildable drawings for approval and construction.

Garden buildings can also enhance resale value and lifestyle flexibility, providing quiet workspaces, guest accommodation, or recreational areas without altering the main home. Our online service allows clients to manage the design process remotely, with feedback, measurements, and plans exchanged digitally.

Perfect for: homeowners needing a home office, wellness space, or flexible garden building.

Perfect for: expats, overseas property investors, remote developers, and anyone seeking professional, reliable, and fully online architectural services that work seamlessly across borders.

The MyHomePlans online architectural process is streamlined, professional, and designed to deliver high-quality, approval-ready drawings efficiently and remotely. Our service is suitable for homeowners, landlords, developers, and international clients, making it easy to manage projects anywhere in the world without requiring in-person meetings.

The process begins with free initial advice, where we assess your property, plot, or project requirements. We provide guidance on planning options, permitted development rights, and the most suitable design approach for your goals. This step ensures clients understand their options before committing to detailed design work.

Next, we collect site information digitally. Clients can upload photos, measurements, surveys, and existing plans securely online. For international clients or remote projects, we provide advice on using satellite data, estate agent plans, or surveyor information to ensure accurate base drawings.

Once the site data is received, our team develops concept designs tailored to your property type and project requirements. This includes floor plans, elevations, and layout options, all shared digitally for review and feedback. Revisions are managed online, ensuring designs meet both functional needs and aesthetic preferences.

After the concept is approved, we prepare planning permission drawings, including detailed site plans, floor layouts, and elevations that comply with local authority standards. For projects that fall under permitted development, we prepare drawings suitable for Lawful Development Certificates or simple submissions.

We also produce building regulations drawings, covering structural compliance, insulation, fire safety, drainage, ventilation, and other technical requirements. These drawings are suitable for building control submission and help ensure your project can proceed smoothly without unnecessary delays.

Finally, we provide construction-ready drawings that builders, contractors, or site teams can follow with confidence. This ensures your project is built accurately, safely, and efficiently, even if you are managing it remotely from another country.

Throughout the process, all feedback, revisions, and approvals are handled online, making the service fast, convenient, and globally accessible. Our approach reduces travel, simplifies communication, and ensures every project is professionally documented and fully compliant.

Perfect for: homeowners, landlords, developers, and international clients seeking a fast, professional, fully online architectural service that provides planning, building regulations, and construction-ready solutions anywhere in the world.

Yes. Internal reconfiguration and structural alterations are key ways to modernise a home, optimise space, and improve functionality without necessarily increasing the building footprint. MyHomePlans provides professional architectural designs for wall removals, open-plan conversions, kitchen reconfigurations, utility room additions, and structural openings, ensuring every alteration is both practical and compliant with regulations.

Internal redesign allows homeowners to create better flow, larger rooms, improved circulation, and more usable space. For example, removing non-load-bearing walls can convert a series of small rooms into a spacious open-plan kitchen-dining-living area, while maintaining structural integrity and compliance with building regulations.

Our services cover structural considerations, including load-bearing walls, stair positioning, and reinforcement requirements. We provide building regulations drawings to ensure that alterations are safe, insulated, and meet fire safety and ventilation standards. For more complex structural changes, we liaise with engineers to produce fully compliant plans.

Internal works are often more cost-effective than full extensions or loft conversions, and they minimise disruption while maximising the functionality of existing space. MyHomePlans ensures all designs are buildable, aesthetically balanced, and suitable for council approval where required.

Perfect for: homeowners seeking modern layouts, improved usability, or structural reconfigurations to enhance the property’s value and livability.

Yes. MyHomePlans designs extensions, loft conversions, and alterations for all residential property types, including terraced, semi-detached, and detached homes. Each property type has unique planning, structural, and design considerations, which we address carefully.

Terraced houses often face constraints such as shared walls, limited rear access, and closer neighbour proximity. We provide solutions such as rear extensions, loft conversions, and internal reconfigurations that optimise space without compromising light or privacy.

Semi-detached homes require careful planning around shared boundaries and neighbouring windows. Our side, rear, and wraparound extensions ensure the original character of the property is respected while maximising usable space.

Detached houses offer more flexibility for larger extensions, loft conversions, and bespoke internal layouts. MyHomePlans works with clients to incorporate open-plan living, additional bedrooms, or garden buildings, ensuring designs are compliant with planning policy and building regulations.

We provide planning and building regulations drawings, fully buildable and visually balanced, for all house types. Our remote service allows homeowners, landlords, and developers to collaborate from anywhere in the world.

Perfect for: homeowners seeking space optimisation, property investors improving rental potential, and developers managing projects remotely.
