What the Morden survey covers
We measure the building with a laser and return existing plans drawn to scale. That is the whole product for £200. If you were hoping for a BIM model or a defects report, tell us in the form so we can say plainly whether we do it.
The plans can then serve as the base for an extension, loft or certificate drawing. Floor plans are also sold on their own.
Merton Council figures that affect your timing
Between July 2025 and June 2026, Merton Council issued 759 householder decisions, counting prior approvals (our analysis of MHCLG planning application statistics, table PS2, released 24 September 2026).
Leaving prior approvals aside, 75% of those decisions were made within eight weeks (our analysis of the same table). Use it to plan when drawings need to be ready, not as a promise about your own case.
