Professional landscape drawings prepared for planning submissions, including roof gardens, courtyards, and constrained urban sites.
We provide clear, compliant landscape plans designed specifically to support planning applications, satisfy local authority requirements, and integrate seamlessly with architectural proposals.
What Are Landscape Drawings for Planning?
Landscape drawings for planning applications are planning-stage design documents required by local authorities to demonstrate how external spaces will be treated as part of a development.
They typically form part of a wider planning pack alongside architectural drawings and are assessed by planners for:
Visual quality and amenity
Appropriate use of planting and materials
Integration with surrounding context
Compliance with planning conditions and policies
These drawings are not construction drawings — they are clear, well-considered layouts that communicate intent and competence at planning stage.
When Are Landscape Drawings Required?
Landscape drawings are commonly required for:
Planning applications for apartment buildings
Developments with roof gardens or terraces
Urban sites with 100% site coverage
Extensions or redevelopments where external space is affected
Applications where planners have requested additional landscape information
If landscaping forms any part of the proposal — even a small area — planners will usually expect it to be shown clearly and professionally.
