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.
Usually paired with Site Location Plan
A 1:1250 OS location plan for planning permission and wider site context.
