A site layout plan, sometimes called a block plan, shows a detailed layout of the whole site and the relationship of the proposed works with the boundary of the property, nearby roads, and neighbouring buildings.
Most applications should include both an existing site layout plan and a proposed site layout plan. For simple applications the existing and proposed site can be combined and shown on one plan.
Please make sure the above plan clearly indicates:
- what is existing
- what is proposed
- what is to be demolished.
Plan requirements
