Drawings, contextual views and the written statement. The whole submission pack, without the week of formatting and boilerplate.
A planning application is mostly assembly. The design was settled weeks ago, and what remains is drawings at the right scale, views that show the scheme in its setting, and a statement that says the same thing in prose a planning officer expects. ArchAdemia Tools does the assembly so the time goes back into the scheme.
Plans, sections and elevations at sheet sizes and scales that suit a submission rather than a social crop.
The scheme placed in a real street photograph with matched light, so a committee can see what will actually be built.
A drafted Design and Access Statement grounded in your own drawings, structured the way local authorities read them.
The writing reads your renders and drawings and refers to what is in them. That is the difference between a statement that describes your scheme and generic prose about materiality and massing that could belong to any application. Expect a strong first draft that needs your judgement over the last stretch, not a document you can submit unread.
Drop in a site photograph and place the proposal into it with the light, season and viewpoint matched. Contextual views are the part of a submission that decides how a scheme reads to people who cannot interpret an elevation, which is most of the people who will see it.
Output is set up around the formats submissions actually use. A1 and A3 sheets, drawing aspect ratios, and layouts that survive being printed. This sounds small until you have rebuilt a board because everything was produced at 16:9.
Pre-application and community consultation want a friendlier version of the same content. Because the drawings, views and text all live together, producing a consultation board or a summary document is a re-cut rather than a new job.
Plans, sections and elevations produced at submission formats rather than screen formats.
The proposal placed into a real site photograph with matched lighting, season and viewpoint.
Structured drafting that reads your own drawings and refers to them, covering the sections a planning officer expects.
The same elevation across material palettes, for justifying a choice rather than merely stating it.
Boards and summaries re-cut from the submission content, without rebuilding any of it.
Drawings, views and text in the same software, so a late design change updates everything rather than three things separately.
