Local Requirements - Existing and proposed floor plans

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 should explain the proposal in detail.  Where existing walls or buildings are to be demolished these should be clearly shown.  The drawings submitted should show details of the existing building(s) as well as those for the proposed development.

New buildings should also be shown in context with adjacent buildings (including property numbers where applicable). 

Existing and proposed floor plans are also required for changes of use where no external work or alterations are to be carried out. 

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).
