Planning maps are used as a part of planning permission submissions and they are incredibly important documents. Along with the planning application they will be submitted to a board where they will be analysed and either approved, rejected or given conditions for continuing with the build. If you are looking for suitable maps you can Visit the map shop for planning maps. In some instances the planning maps may be rejected and these are often for one or more of the following reasons.
Your site’s location is not clearly identified on the map. Note that it is important for the planning officer to be very sure where the site is and where its limits lie. The officer will not process your application if the location is not displayed clearly on the map.
The map has been out of date. The planning officer needs to know that it correctly shows all the surrounding growth. If you use an old map, however the chances are that new progress has taken place since it was written, making it harder to determine the effect of what you suggest. And it’s not just the planning officer who’s going to be unhappy; a neighbour whose house was left off your map may not be too pleased, either.
It is crucial that the scale is clearly displayed because items such as distance to neighbouring properties or roads can be measured using the map.
The map is hand-drawn from some other map or maybe traced. This is never a good idea because it’s probably going to be incorrect and might even look scruffy.
The map was photocopied from an application by someone else. This is a copyright violation, and it will not be intentionally condoned by the planning authority. Planning application maps that are approved copies need to be submitted.
