Floor planning in Ilford IG1
Floor planning in Ilford means a scaled drawing of each level of your home as it stands, then a second set showing your changes. DrawingsDirect's MCIAT chartered architectural technologists draw both for Redbridge council. The plans cost a fixed fee from £275.

What does floor planning in Ilford actually produce?
You receive an existing plan for every floor and a proposed plan for every floor you are changing. Walls, openings, stairs and room uses are drawn from a measured survey, so the council and your builder read the same dimensions.
The plans sit inside a wider set. Our floor plans service explains where they fit, and our guide to what a measured building survey is covers the visit that feeds them.
How should an IG1 floor plan be drawn?
Planning practice guidance on gov.uk says plans and drawings must be drawn to an identified scale, and plans must show the direction of north. Every sheet we issue for an IG1 address carries both.
The same guidance says a location plan should typically be at a scale of 1:1250. We can draw that sheet as well; it is a separate item on the pricing page.
Our analysis of the MHCLG Planning Data Platform conservation-area dataset (snapshot retrieved 14 Aug 2026) finds 19 live conservation-area entries on the national register across Redbridge.
How fast does Redbridge decide householder applications?
Our analysis of MHCLG planning application statistics, table PS2 (released 24 Sep 2026), shows Redbridge made 991 householder decisions, including prior approvals, across the four quarters from 2025 Q3 to 2026 Q2.
In the same four quarters, 96% of Redbridge householder decisions, excluding prior approvals, were made within 8 weeks. A clear plan set helps an officer reach a decision without writing back for corrections. Our guide to how long planning permission takes covers the wider timeline.
Conservation areas to check before you draw
Our analysis of the MHCLG Planning Data Platform conservation-area dataset (snapshot retrieved 14 Aug 2026) finds 19 live conservation-area entries on the national register across Redbridge. Check Redbridge Council's conservation area map for your street first, because a designation changes what the council looks for in the elevations.
The count covers the whole borough, so it describes Redbridge rather than IG1 alone.
