About Planning World
A faster, smarter, more affordable way to get planning permission anywhere in the UK.
Planning World was created to fix a simple problem: homeowners and developers were paying too much, waiting too long, and receiving too little clarity when trying to secure planning permission. Traditional architects were slow and expensive. Online drawing services were cheap but risky. Planning consultants were knowledgeable but often lacked design capability.
We built Planning World to offer the best of all three — accurate surveys, premium drawings, expert planning handling, and fast turnaround — all at transparent fixed prices.
Our Mission
To make planning permission simple, predictable, and affordable for every homeowner and developer in the UK — without the delays, jargon, or inflated fees that hold projects back.

Our Story
Planning World was founded by a team of planning specialists, architectural technicians, and survey professionals who saw how fragmented and confusing the planning system had become for homeowners. Every year, thousands of people were overpaying for drawings, submitting incomplete applications, or being refused due to avoidable errors.
We set out to build a service that combined:
- Architectural accuracy
- Planning expertise
- Modern technology
- Clear communication
- Fair pricing
Today, we support projects across the UK — from terraced extensions in London to barn conversions in rural counties — with the same commitment to speed, clarity, and quality.
