# PlanningMapsUK > PlanningMapsUK is an independent Ordnance Survey Licensed Partner supplying planning PDFs, editable DWG/DXF mapping, tree mapping and OS data licensing services. PlanningMapsUK (https://planningmapsuk.co.uk) is operated by WTF PROPERTY INVESTING LIMITED, company number 12744209. It serves homeowners, architects, planning consultants, builders, developers, surveyors and organisations. OS planning maps cover England, Scotland and Wales (Great Britain), excluding Northern Ireland. Specialist datasets have their own coverage; check the relevant product page. - Choose a site location plan for wider context, usually at 1:1250 or 1:2500; choose a site/block plan for detail, usually at 1:500 or 1:200. Check the application's requested scale and coverage. - PDF plans contain licensed OS mapping and the boundary and annotations the customer adds. Proposed layouts, floor plans and elevations may require separate drawings. CAD supplies editable base mapping in British National Grid coordinates; it is not a measured site survey. - Customers search an address, select coverage and format, add a boundary, preview, pay and download. Printed copies are available for selected products. Trade accounts support repeat professional orders. - Free searches and watermarked previews are distinct from paid planning PDFs. Property boundary overlays do not establish legal ownership boundaries, and planning maps are distinct from official Land Registry title documents. - Use the linked product and policy pages for current prices, VAT treatment, availability, licensing, delivery and correction eligibility. A map acceptance policy does not guarantee planning permission. ## Agent Discovery - [Public API catalog](https://planningmapsuk.co.uk/.well-known/api-catalog): Public read-only APIs, the Maps API, and their documentation. - [OpenAPI specification](https://planningmapsuk.co.uk/openapi.json): Customer reviews and site monitoring response schemas. - [API documentation](https://planningmapsuk.co.uk/api-docs.md): Usage, limitations and browser tools. - [Agent access](https://planningmapsuk.co.uk/auth.md): Anonymous public access, Maps API keys and customer authentication guidance. - [Maps API](https://planningmapsuk.co.uk/developers): Authenticated API for approved businesses to quote and generate PNG, PDF and CAD maps.
