Options: Siteplan® and Siteplan Data™
Why do I need Siteplan?
If you are planning a home extension or carrying out a small building project, you will need to apply for planning permission from your local authority. They may require up to six site maps, which the Options Siteplan service can provide.
View more information on Planning Applications and the Options service.
With the launch of Siteplan Data™, an electronic delivery system, the service is now even quicker and easier to use. Unlike local authority maps, which can only be used for statutory purposes, Siteplan is also used for:
- Insurance claims
- Conveyancing
- Home referencing
- Property location plans
- Presentations and reports
The very latest available survey information
Ordnance Survey make nearly 5,000 updates every day, so you can be sure of getting the very latest map.
Site-centred
Your property is put at the centre of the map, giving a clear picture of its relation with the surrounding area.
Customised mapping
With the launch of Siteplan Data™, your maps can be delivered in a digital form, as a universally accepted TIFF file. This allows you to customise your map by overlaying other information or to highlight a specific area, such as your house, in colour. Alternatively, we can provide this customisation service for you for a small fee.
Nationwide coverage
From city centres to upland moors, Siteplan provides map extracts for any location in Great Britain.
A choice of scale
Different local authorities require different map scales. Siteplan covers them all:
- 1:500 scale – 80 m by 80 m of ground coverage printed on A4 paper;
- 1:1,250 scale – 200 m by 200 m of ground coverage printed on A4 paper; and
