Block Plans

When submitting your planning application you will normally have to include a block plan showing the proposed development.

Here are some common mistakes found in block plans submitted with planning applications:

wrong scale used
scale not shown clearly
block plan printed at slightly the wrong size
map out of date
copyrighted map used fraudulently
boundary of development area marked out incorrectly

When creating your own block plan here are some important points to follow:

always use the best quality and most up to date map available – we use Ordnance Survey Mastermap
ensure the licensing information is included
use a standard metric scale that meets the council’s requirements
print to exactly the right scale
show the development boundary in red
use a blue outline as well, if necessary
include sufficient detail of the proposal
show the direction north
