Acknowledgments  \n1) Introduction  \nDrawings are a key part of your planning application, and it is essential that drawings are of a suitable standard and include all of the information necessary to describe the development proposal in detail and to enable your application to be assessed. It is also important that your proposals can be clearly understood by third parties (such as neighbours) who may not be familiar with reading plans and drawings, and will mostly be looking at your application online.  \nThis guidance will assist you in making an application, help to avoid most common mistakes and reduce any delay in your proposal being considered by a planning officer.  \nIf drawings are received that do not contain sufficient detail, your application will be invalid and the registration of your planning application will be delayed until appropriately revised or further drawings are submitted.  \n2) Presentation of plans and drawings.  \nA separate list or schedule of drawings, plans and documents, to include the drawing numbers and the plan titles, should be submitted with the application. The plans and drawings should meet the following criteria:-  \n􀁸 All plans and drawings must be accurately drawn, to a suitable standard, using a conventional metric scale such as 1:100 or 1:50 and the scale used should be stated on the drawing.  \n􀁸 Except for location plans, all plans and drawings should include a scale bar and/or measured dimensions.  \n􀁸 Plans/drawings containing disclaimers such as “Not to scale” and “Do not scale” will not be accepted by the council (perspectives excepted) . Drawings must be drawn true to stated scales. The following statement is acceptable – “Responsibility is not accepted for errors made by others in scaling from this drawing. All construction information should be taken from figured dimensions only”.  \n􀁸 The clearest way to present your proposals is to group “existing” and “proposed” drawings side by side, using the same scale for both.  \n􀁸 Each plan/drawing should have a title box stating:  \no the address  \no the proposal  \no the title of the drawing (e.g.“existing rear elevation, proposed floor plan”)  \no the date  \no the scale of the drawing  \no the drawing number, e.g. D1, D2, D3, etc.  \n􀁸 Any revisions to the drawings should be clearly identified with a new number, e.g. D1a, D2b, D3c, etc. The date and details of the revision should also be indicated on the drawing.  \n􀁸 Plans and drawings should be annotated to make them completely understandable, e.g. if a line is shown on the plan between two properties, annotate by stating “boundary fence”.  \n􀁸 Every plan (including all copies) that is based upon Ordnance Survey maps should have the appropriate Ordnance Survey copyright notice.  \n􀁸 It is good practice to submit the site location plan on a separate sheet of paper to aid consultation.  \n3) How to submit your ap","cbCaifr0jOhd5W7H","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaifr0jOhd5W7H","pdf",2028769,15,"English","# Introduction\n# Presentation of plans and drawings\n# How to submit your applications","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of this drawing standards guidance for planning applications?\",\"answer\":\"It provides information to applicants on the type and standard of plans and drawings that must be submitted with a planning application, and it is used to determine whether the application is valid.\"},{\"question\":\"What requirements must drawings meet in terms of scale and measurement?\",\"answer\":\"Plans and drawings must be accurately drawn to a suitable standard using a conventional metric scale, with the scale stated.
