It is based on the criteria set out in the Government’s guidance on ‘Making an application’.  \nA location plan shows the proposal in its surrounding context and a site plan shows the development in more detail.  \nYou can draw the site boundary and create a location plan for your planning application as part of the Planning Portal’s online service.  \nThis means you do not need to purchase a location plan from an external provider to attach to your application.  \nYou can buy site plans to support your application from the Planning Portal’s accredited supplier, ReQuestaPlan, and attach them to your online application.  \nPlease note that other plans, including a site plan, may be requested by your local planning authority (LPA) as part of its local level requirements.  \nPlease ensure you check your LPA's website for its local level requirements to understand if a site plan or other specific plans are required.  \nIf submitting your application online, the service will detail what plans are required, as set by national legislation and the LPA. Please note that while this is done for each type of application, there may be additional requirements based on the specifics of each individual application (e.g. building a new house may require different details than installing a telecoms mast) .  \n1 All applications for planning permission require a location plan. Certain other application types do not:  \n• Applications for tree works require a sketch plan.  \n• Many types of prior approval application only require a site plan.  \n• Applications for discharge, removal, or variation of a condition, and applications for non-material amendments do not require location plans.  \nLocation plan  \nThese plans enable the LPA to identify the land to which the application refers to and should be based on an up-to-date map.  \nBased on the criteria set out in the Government’s guidance on ‘Making an application’, the location plan should also:  \n• Be at an identified standard metric scale (typically 1:1250, or 1:2500 for larger sites), and scaled to fit onto A4 or A3 size paper.  \n• Show the direction north.  \n• Identify sufficient roads and/or buildings on land adjoining the application site.  \n• Show application site boundaries and all land necessary to carry out the proposed development (i.e. land required for access to the site from the road) outlined in red.  \n• Show any other land owned by the applicant that is close to or adjacent to the property outlined in blue  \nYou can generate Location Plans for your application using the Planning Portal’s integrated location plan service.  \nOur location plan service:  \n• Saves time and resources when compared with using other suppliers, improving validation and creating a streamlined process.  \n• Creates compliant Ordnance Survey location plans at an identified standard metric scale.  \n• Includes functions to add additional roads names or information to ensure that the exact location of the application site is clear.  \n• Creates both a PDF location plan and a location data file, which you can import into your own system.  \nSite plan  \nThe site plan (also known as a block plan) should be drawn at an identified standard metric scale (typically 1:100, 1:200 or 1:500) . It should show the proposed development in relation to the site boundaries and other existing buildings on the site, with dimensions specified including those to the boundaries. It should also show the direction north.  \nIt should also include the following – unless they would NOT influence or be affected by the proposed development:  \n• All buildings, roads and footpaths on land adjoining the site including access arrangements.  \n• All","cbCaihYvm4HNcLEB","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaihYvm4HNcLEB","pdf",1449408,"English","# Location plan\n## Standards and required information\n# Site plan (block plan)\n## Scale, contents, and optional display\n# Use of Ordnance Survey data\n## Licensing and copyright acknowledgements\n# Paper copies for offline applications\n## Copy requirements","[{\"question\":\"What is a location plan and what does it need to show?\",\"answer\":\"A location plan shows the proposal in its surrounding context.
