Architectural drawings are used for a number of purposes, and can come in a number of distinct types 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 agreement or building regulations approval, or for use by building contractors to properly perform the building works.
Floor plans, site plans and elevation drawings will generally need to be crafted to submit to local authorities to either obtain planning permission or to ensure that the proposed work is completed within permitted development rights. These drawings will demonstrate the scale of the proposed works, and offer the planning officer a sense of the way the work may interact with the nearby area. For construction requirements and for building regulations approval, technical drawings are typicaly generated which detail the types of materials employed in the building work for structural and insulation purposes.

The London Borough of Hackney is a north east London Borough within Inner London in the UK. Southern and eastern parts of the borough are popularly, but unofficially, regarded as being part of east London, with northern and western locations considered to belong to north London. The London Plan, issued by the Greater London Authority, assigns whole boroughs to sub-regions for statutory monitoring, engagement and resource allocation purposes. The latest 2011 iteration of this strategy assigns Hackney towards the ‘East’ sub-region, even though the 2008 and 2004 versions assigned the borough to ‘North’ and ‘East’ sub-regions respectively.
Hackney is bounded by Islington towards the west, Haringey towards the north, Waltham Forest to the north-east, Newham towards the east, Tower Hamlets towards the south-east along with the City of London to the south-west. It covers a total area of 7.36 square miles. Based on population estimates from 2014, the borough features a permanent population of around 263150 people. A lot of Hackney retains an inner-city character, but in such areas as Dalston large housing estates have been joined by newly developed gated communities. The historical and administrative heart of Hackney is the area roughly extending north from Mare Street and surrounding the Church of St John-at-Hackney; known as Hackney Central.
Towards the north of the borough are Upper Clapton and Lower Clapton, Stamford Hill and Stoke Newington. Light industries in the space around the River Lea employ over 3000 individuals. Some of the area was utilised for the 2012 Summer Olympics.
