MAKING A DOMESTIC PLANNING APPLICATION

PLANS

All planning applications must be submitted with a Location Plan showing the area over which permission is required. This may be simply part or all of a building or a larger area. The application area should be outlined in Red and any remaining land / property in your ownership which adjoins the application area should be outlined in Blue. Be careful to ensure that the areas coincide with your property ownership.

Outline or change of use planning applications may require no more than a red line around the application property on an Ordnance Survey Plan to either 1/2500 or 1/1250 scale.

If you require a plan to accompany your application you can obtain one from your local Ordnance Survey main stockist (see OS Plans) or possibly your local planning office. A charge will be made for the plans in accordance with Copyright requirements.

Plans can also be ordered online at:   

In addition the application may require plans and drawings showing your proposal in greater detail. Outline applications may only require these to be illustrative showing the principles of the scheme rather than specific detail.

Full planning applications will require not only a location plan, but also all necessary plans and drawings detailing the proposal. You may require the services of an architect or surveyor as the plans must be accurate and contain sufficient detail.

You may also need to submit plans showing details of any landscaping proposals, highways arrangements etc.

Drawings, photographs and illustrations may also be submitted to further illustrate points of detail.

The planning application form will indicate how many sets of plans are required.
