What is on a floor plan, and what is not
Each floor gets its own sheet at an identified scale: wall thicknesses, openings, stairs, room names and key dimensions, with north marked. It is a record of the building as it stands. Elevations, sections and a proposed layout are separate drawings.
The government's planning practice guidance requires plans and drawings to be drawn to an identified scale, and plans to show the direction of north. You can read the wording in Making an application.
Price for SE25
The starting fixed fee for scaled floor plans for sale, letting or lease is £275. Bigger properties and additional drawings are quoted; the pricing page explains how.
