National Requirements - Site Plan (Householder)

A site plan must be submitted with all applications.

Site plans should be drawn at an identified standard metric scale (typically 1:200 or 1:500) and accurately show:

  • The direction of north
  • The proposed development in relation to the site boundaries and other existing buildings on the site, with written dimensions including those to the boundaries
  • and the following, unless these would NOT influence or be affected by the proposed development:
  • All buildings, roads, public rights of way and footpaths on land adjoining the site including access arrangements
  • All public rights of way crossing the site
  • The position of all trees on the site and those on adjacent land
  • The extent and type of any hard surfacing; and
  • Boundary treatment including walls or fencing where this is proposed

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).
