Architectural drawings are used for a number of purposes, and come in a number of distinct forms depending on your requirements. For most extensions or loft conversions at least some type of architectural drawing will be required, either to submit to councils or local authorities for planning permission or building regulations approval, or for use by building contractors to accurately perform the building works.
Floor plans, site plans and elevation drawings will usually need to be produced to submit to local authorities to either acquire planning permission or to confirm that the planned work is completed under permitted development rights. These drawings will display the scale of the planned works, and provide the planning officer a sense of how the work may interact with the surrounding area. For construction requirements and for building regulations approval, technical drawings are often produced which detail the types of material used in the building work on a structural and insulation level.

Aldgate is an area in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets and partly the City of London. It was the eastern-most gateway through the London Wall leading from the City of London to Whitechapel plus the East End of London. It gave its name to a City ward bounded by White Kennet Street within the north and Crutched Friars towards the south.
The district’s name was initially recorded in 1052 as ‘East gate’, but became Alegate by 1108. In the 16th century, John Stow derived the name from ‘Old Gate’. But Henry Harben, writing in 1918, said that this was wrong and that documents show a different variation written before 1486-7. Other meanings include ‘Ale Gate’, linked to an ale-house or ‘All Gate’, meaning the gate was free to everybody.
It is thought that the gate at Aldgate spanned the road to Colchester in the Roman period, when London Wall was constructed. The gateway stood in the corner of the modern day Duke’s palace on the east side of the city. It was rebuilt in between 1108 and 1147, and again in 1215. It was reconstructed entirely between 1607 and 1609 in a more classical style. As the other London gates, Aldgate was chained in 1377 because of concerns about attacks from the French. The gate was finally removed in 1761 and temporarily re-erected in Bethnal Green.
