Floor Plans in Southgate Green N14
Fixed-fee, MCIAT-chartered floor plans for Southgate Green (N14) homeowners — London Borough of Enfield validation and local constraints handled from the start.
Southgate (N14) is anchored by Southgate Green, a historic green ringed by Georgian and Victorian houses and more than thirty listed structures, with Edwardian and interwar semis on the surrounding streets where most of our extension and loft work sits.
Because the Article 4(2) directions made in 2009 remove permitted-development rights on frontages inside the conservation area, we check the mapped boundary and listing status before advising whether a scheme is genuinely PD or needs a full application with heritage justification.
Planning in Southgate Green (N14): what to know before you apply
Most Southgate extensions run as householder applications to Enfield, with a heritage statement where the property is inside the Southgate Green Conservation Area. The 2009 Article 4(2) directions remove PD rights on street-facing elevations, and listed-building consent can be required near the green, so we confirm boundary and listing status first.

Floor Plans for Southgate Green (N14) homes: the package and the process
Every floor plans we prepare for an Southgate Green property is drawn to London Borough of Enfield’s validation standards and tuned to the N14 constraints above. Here is what the drawing package covers and how the process runs from first survey to approval.
Not every project needs a full planning drawing set. If you are selling or letting a property, drawing up a lease, recording a layout before a refurbishment, or simply want an accurate plan of your home, what you need is a floor plan — a scaled, dimensioned drawing of each level, measured directly from the property rather than estimated from an old plan or an estate agent's rough sketch. DrawingsDirect produces floor plans from a laser-measured site visit, so room sizes, wall thicknesses and door and window positions are accurate, not approximate.
Floor plans are commonly used for estate agency marketing and Rightmove or Zoopla listings, for lease plans required by a mortgage lender or solicitor, for landlords documenting a rental property's layout, or as a straightforward existing-layout record before any building work is decided. They are lighter than a full architectural or planning drawing set — there is no design work, no application, and no borough-specific requirements to satisfy — so turnaround is fast and the fee is correspondingly lower. If you later decide to extend, convert a loft or apply for planning permission, the same laser survey can usually be reused as the base for those drawings rather than re-measuring the property from scratch.
What are floor plans used for?
Floor plans serve several distinct purposes in London property: estate agents use them to market a sale or letting alongside photographs, giving buyers and tenants an accurate sense of layout and scale that a floor plan on its own can convey better than photos; solicitors and lenders often require a lease plan showing the demise of a flat within a building, particularly for leasehold sales or re-mortgages; landlords use them to document a property's layout for reference, insurance or portfolio management; and homeowners use them simply to have an accurate record of their existing layout, whether for their own reference or as the first step before considering any building work.
How accurate are laser-measured floor plans?
We measure every floor plan on site using a laser distance meter rather than a tape measure or estimation from photographs, which keeps room dimensions, wall thicknesses and door and window positions accurate to within a few millimetres. This matters more than it might seem: an estate agent's marketing plan that overstates a room's size can mislead a buyer and cause problems at survey stage, while a lease plan used for legal purposes needs to accurately reflect what a leaseholder actually owns. A laser-measured plan also means that if you later want to use it as the existing-layout drawing for a planning application, it is already accurate enough to build proposed drawings on top of, rather than needing to be re-measured.
