Local Requirements - Existing and proposed elevations

Types of application or development that require this information

• All applications where new building work is proposed

What information is required?

These should be drawn at a scale of 1:50 or 1:100 and show clearly the proposed works in relation to what is already there. All external sides of the proposal must be shown and these should indicate, where possible, the proposed building materials and the style, materials and finish of doors and windows. Blank elevations must also be included; if only to show that this is in fact the case.

Where a proposed elevation adjoins another building or is in close proximity, the drawings should clearly show the relationship between the buildings, and detail the positions of the openings on each property.

All plans should contain an individual reference that identifies the individual plan, the version number and date of production (any amended plans submitted at a later date should follow the same reference format).
