Floor plans in Sutton: the starting point for a wraparound extension
A single storey or double storey wrap around extension in Sutton starts with an accurate plan of the house as it stands. Our measured floor plans start at £275, fixed fee, drawn to an identified scale with north shown, ready to build the extension drawings on.

Existing plans first, extension drawings second
A wraparound extension fills the side and rear of a house, so every wall you attach to has to be on the survey: the rear line, the side passage, the boundary and any projecting bay. A wall drawn in the wrong place on the survey carries the same error into the proposed plan.
This page covers the measured plans only. The design side, including single and double storey options, is on our wraparound extension drawings in Sutton page, and the build budget is in the wraparound extension cost guide.
What the fixed fee is
For scaled floor plans for sale, letting or lease, the starting fixed fee is £275. A wraparound project usually adds elevations, sections and a site plan, which are quoted together; the pricing page shows how the fees are built.
Our analysis of the MHCLG Planning Data Platform lists 15 entries on the national register of conservation areas for Sutton.
Sutton's record on householder applications
Our analysis of the MHCLG planning application statistics (table PS2, released 24 Sep 2026) shows Sutton council made 601 householder decisions in the four quarters from 2025 Q3 to 2026 Q2, granting 92%. Excluding prior approvals, 95% were decided within 8 weeks.
Those are borough-wide results, not a prediction for your address.
When Sutton appeals go the other way
Of 139 householder appeals decided for Sutton between 2021 and 2026, 41% were allowed, according to our analysis of the Planning Inspectorate Casework Database (release 2609). That is a count of past decisions, not a forecast.
An appeal is argued on drawings and measurements, which is the reason to survey carefully before the design starts.
Designation checks and the scale of the plan
Our analysis of the MHCLG Planning Data Platform lists 15 entries on the national register of conservation areas for Sutton. Check the council's conservation area map for your road.
Planning practice guidance also asks for plans drawn to an identified scale, and a location plan typically at 1:1250 or 1:2500; see Making an application. If the house was extended in the past without a record, a certificate of lawful development may be the route: our analysis of table PS1 counts 643 certificates decided in Sutton over the eight quarters to 2026 Q2. The planning permission in Sutton page explains the usual routes.
