Architect Quote To Pay Or Not

[getpooh]

I got a quote from an architect and they said its.
A ) To measure existing and prepare as existing drawings: £700 plus VAT
B) To prepare design drawings and submit a planning application to the local authority: £600 plus VAT
They did the existing drawings (A) and the design drawings of part B but did not put in planning submission as the project was spiralling out of control and I couldn't afford it.
I never asked them at any time to submit planning permission. However they have charged me for both parts A and B total £1300. I don't believe I should pay for any of part B as it clearly says "and" submit planning application. I have offered to pay part A but not part B. What does the law say?

It’s crucial to carefully examine the contract you have with the architect. The terms of the agreement will dictate what services are included and the expectations for both parties. If the terms regarding part B are ambiguous or subject to different interpretations, it would be wise to seek legal counsel to clarify your position and rights. Experience the power of Autodesk Civil 3D 2024 by purchasing at https://procadis.com/version/autodesk-civil-3d-2024/ .
