Examples of Building Warrant drawings?

[Crofter]

I'm sure everybody on here has, like me, spent hours poring over other people's planning applications and drawing inspiration from them.

 

Building warrant drawings don't appear to be in the public domain though. It would be really helpful to see how certain details are laid out, especially with low energy building methods.

 

I presume these drawings are copyright to the people who drew them up and only made available to the customer and the relevant bodies.

 

Any suggestions? I'm not even looking for specific details at this stage, but I'd like to see a building warrant application to see what's actually expected.

I’ll post a list of what we submitted after my coffee.

When the warrant is approved it gets uploaded to a portal for you (or your architect) to download them. There are two documents, the warrant approval document which explains what you have to do with links to guidance notes. The other document is a pdf of everything you (or the architect) sent to the council’s building standards department with each page stamped with a building warrant approved watermark. 
 

My approved warrant contains the following:

 

1. SE design for drainage layout for rainwater and sewerage on a block diagram. It also includes build details of what to do including drainage field design and everything connected with it. 

2. An existing location plan with boundary line 

3. Land survey showing existing boreholes, trial pits, location of drainage, any significant features (burns etc) 

4. Detailed SAP analysis and predicted EPC

5. Topographical survey

6. Architect warrant drawings showing: existing block plan and site section, proposed site plan and section, GF/FF house layout and dimensions, drainage, electrical layout, roof plan, various sections through the house, proposed elevations, garage, build up details for floors, walls, roofs, window schedule, then a more detailed specification document for the build, all the detailed structural engineering drawings, the SER certificate. We also had some supplemental drawings sent separately the council asked for to do with drainage.

Thanks, that's really helpful.

The last build we did (see my profile pic) was exempt from building regs. I'm just starting to get a feel for how what I missed out on last time

Next time round we want to go slightly bigger and with an upstairs, so the regs exempt route won't work for us. We'll get our VAT back which should help offset some of the higher costs though.
