Feasibility Drawings in Warrington & Cheshire
The most successful home projects start before a single planning form is filled in. Feasibility drawings show you what is realistically possible with your property, what it is likely to cost, and where the planning risks sit, so you can make confident decisions early rather than expensive ones later. Draw Plan produces feasibility studies for homeowners and developers across Warrington, Culcheth and the wider Cheshire area, combining accurate surveys with local planning insight.
What feasibility drawings are and why they come first
A feasibility study is the exploratory first stage of a project. Before you invest in a full planning application, we measure your home, sketch the realistic options, and tell you honestly which ideas are likely to fly and which will struggle. Whether you are extending a period property in Altrincham, opening up a kitchen in Wilmslow or modernising a semi in Warrington, feasibility drawings give you the insight to move forward on solid ground.
What your feasibility study includes
Every feasibility study is built around three things: an accurate picture of your property today, clear options for its future, and grounded advice on each one.
A measured survey of your property
We visit your home to record precise dimensions, existing layouts and any constraints such as boundaries, access and services. This measured survey is the accurate baseline every later drawing depends on.
2D outline floor plans and design options
We combine your ideas with our experience to produce 2D outline floor plans and multiple design options, from rear extensions with bifold doors to loft and garage conversions or full internal reconfigurations.
Project guidance: planning, cost and compliance
For each concept we assess likely planning outcomes against local authority rules, give you an indication of build cost and value impact, and flag anything that will later need to be resolved through building regulations.
Explore your options with no obligation
Feasibility drawings are about freedom to explore, not pressure to commit. They answer the questions homeowners actually ask: can I convert my garage, will a wraparound extension be approved, is reconfiguring my layout smarter than extending? We draw on real local planning knowledge so the answers are specific to your home and your area, not generic.
Why start with feasibility drawings
Starting here saves time and money by avoiding costly mistakes before they happen. You get local planning insight into Cheshire approval trends, a clear visual sense of your future home through scaled concept drawings, and an informed view of design, cost and planning hurdles before you commit a penny to a full scheme.
From feasibility to planning and building regs
Once you have chosen your preferred concept, we convert it seamlessly into full planning drawings ready for submission, and later into building regulations drawings for the construction phase, so your project moves forward without losing momentum or changing hands.

Building regulations FAQs
Detailed technical drawings and specification notes that show how your project will be built to meet the Building Regulations – covering structure, fire safety, insulation and drainage. Your builder and building control both work from them.
In almost all cases, yes. Planning permission approves the project in principle. Building regulations approval is a separate technical sign-off that the construction is safe and compliant. Most projects need both.
No reputable builder will, and building control will not sign the work off. Starting without them risks unsafe work, failed inspections and costly remedial work later.
Planning drawings show what the project looks like and get council approval. Building regs drawings show how it is constructed and prove it meets safety and energy standards. Planning comes first, building regulations before construction.
It depends on the size and complexity of the project. We give a clear fixed quote up front after a free consultation, so you know the cost before committing.
