Which planning map do I need?

Use this planning permission map selector to work out whether you need a site location plan, a block plan, the full planning permission map pack, or editable CAD mapping.

2. What has the council or checklist asked for?


3. What is the site context?


4. What output format do you need?

Recommendation

OS Planning Maps

The safer route when you need both context and detailed planning-map outputs.

Default scale

Usually 1:1250 + 1:500 for standard planning submissions.

Usually paired with

Site Location Plan

Why this fits

When the requirement is unclear, or the site needs broader context, the planning-map pack is the safer commercial route because it covers both the wider map and the detailed site plan.

Common mistake to avoid

Do not guess with a single file if the council may expect both the wider location plan and the detailed block plan.
