Other
Plans and Drawings
Copies of a SITE PLAN should be submitted. The legislation requires three copies
plus the original (unless submitted electronically). The site plan should be
drawn at a scale of 1:500 or 1:200 and should accurately show:
a) the direction of
North;
b) the proposed
development in relation to the site boundaries and other existing buildings on
the site, with written dimensions including those to the boundaries;
c) all the buildings,
roads and footpaths on land adjoining the site including access arrangements;
d) all public rights of
way crossing or adjoining the site;
e) the position of all
trees on the site, and those on adjacent land that could influence or be
affected by the development;
f) the extent and type
of any hard surfacing; and
g) boundary treatment
including walls or fencing where this is proposed.
In addition other plans should be submitted
(dependent on the type of application – refer to the relevant checklist for specific
requirements) and may include:
• Block plan of the site (e.g.
at a scale of 1:100 or 1:200) showing any site boundaries
Copies of plans should
show: any site boundaries; the type and height of boundary treatment (e.g.
walls, fences etc); the position of any building or structure on the other side
of such boundaries.
• Existing and proposed elevations (e.g.
at a scale of 1:50 or 1:100)
These should be drawn to a
scale of 1:50 or 1:100 and show clearly the proposed works in relation to what
is already there. All sides of the proposal must be shown and these should indicate,
where possible, the proposed building materials and the style, materials and
finish of windows and doors. Blank elevations must also be included; if only to
show that this is in fact the case.
Where a proposed elevation
adjoins another building or is in close proximity, the drawings should clearly
show the relationship between the buildings, and detail the positions of the openings
on each property.
• Existing and proposed floor plans (e.g. at a scale of 1:50 or 1:100)
These should be drawn to a
scale of 1:50 or 1:100 and should explain the proposal in detail. Where
existing buildings or walls are to be demolished these should be clearly shown.
The drawings submitted should show details of the existing building(s) as well
as those for the proposed development. New buildings should also be shown in
context with adjacent buildings (including property numbers where applicable).
• Existing and proposed site sections and finished floor and site levels
(e.g. at a scale of 1:50 or 1:100)
Such plans drawn at a
scale of 1:50 or 1:100 should show a cross section(s) through the proposed building(s).
In all cases where a proposal involves a change in ground levels, illustrative drawings
should be submitted to show both existing and finished levels to include
details of foundations and eaves and how encroachment onto adjoining land is to
be avoided.
Full information should
also be submitted to demonstrate how proposed buildings relate to existing site
levels and neighbouring development. Such plans should show existing site
levels and finished floor levels (with levels related to a fixed datum point
off site) and also show the proposals in relation to adjoining buildings. This
will be required for all applications involving new buildings.
In the case of householder
development, the levels may be evident from floor plans and elevations, but
particularly in the case of sloping sites it will be necessary to show how
proposals relate to existing ground levels or where ground levels outside the
extension would be modified. Levels should also be taken into account in the
formulation of design and access statements.
• Roof plans (e.g. at a scale
of 1:50 or 1:100)
A roof plan is used to
show the shape of the roof and is typically drawn at a scale smaller than the
scale used for the floor plans. Details such as the roofing material and their
location are typically specified on the roof plan.
