Software for planning permission ground plans and elevations

[AndrewFitton]

I guess I qualify for this site as I built my own house 8 years ago. 
 

I'm now replacing the small garage that went in temporarily and cheap with a large oak frame garage (it’s an oak frame house ). The site of the garage is unusual as it sits forward of the house behind a large hedge in an urban setting.

 

I need to get plans in quick and I can’t find a decent architect who will react quickly so I could usefully do with trying to draw up the plans this weekend on my Lenovo laptop. 
 

I don’t really care if the cad software is paid for or free but I need something easy to use I can pull together elevation and ground / grid plans in a weekend for a simple (but fairly large) garage structure. 
 

Anyone got any recommendations. 
 

Many thanks
