This a national requirement. A location plan should be based on an up-to-date licenced OS map. A location plan should identify sufficient roads and/or buildings on land adjoining the application site to ensure that the exact location of the application site is clear. Recommended scale at 1:1250 or 1:2500, but wherever possible the plan should be scaled to fit onto A4 or A3 size paper. This plan must show direction north. There is a preference to identify two roads on the map.
The application site should be edged clearly with a red line on the location plan. It should include all land necessary to carry out the proposed development (eg. 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. Visit Ordnance Survey or the Planning Portal for recommended partners who can provide the necessary plan.
