any neighbours had one done recently that you like?

their applications should be on the council website somewhere. See what plans they had drawn up and either:

(a) try using the same architect, negotiating a low fee based on the fact they've essentially done the work once already.
(b) print off the plans, tippex out their name & change address details, submit to council as your own.

No need to thank me.
