My architect is dodging me and refusing to complete work. What are my options?

I know this is a bit off-topic, but hoping to hear from someone who has had a similar experience and got a resolution.
Long story short (there are a lot of chapters to this tale, but I'll keep it short), I hired an architect to do drawings and handle my planning application in September. It's now March and I'm yet to receive detailed drawings that I can use to get a quote. It's been 7 months and I'm starting to think they'll never come. He does reply to messages saying they're coming, but they never materialise.
Does anyone have a suggestion for the best course of action? Letter from a lawyer? Small claims court? Begging on his doorstep?
I've kept it polite until now, but that tactic has run it's course.
