This must be an up-to-date Ordnance Survey based location plan at an appropriate scale, usually 1:1250 or 1:2500. In the case of large sites other drawing scales maybe appropriate.

The plan must show:

• at least 2 main roads and all surrounding buildings or land;
• the application site (the whole planning unit) ;
• a north point;
• a scale bar.

The application site boundary should be edged clearly with a red line. It should include all land necessary to carry out the proposed development; for example, land required for access to the site from a public highway, visibility splays, landscaping, car parking and open areas around buildings.

A blue line should be drawn around any other land owned by the applicant, close to or adjoining the application site.

We will expect this to be on an A4 size plan or larger.

A sample location plan can be viewed online

Ordnance Survey map extracts are available from any Ordnance Survey Mapping and Data Centre.

The plan used should:

• Not be a Land Registry document
• Not be used for multiple applications
• Show OS Crown copyright as an acknowledgement
• Not be a photocopy or screen grab image
• Not to be copied from existing OS mapping, if using hand drawn maps such as standard streets
• Show the correct licence number if you wish to print or copy maps for applications
