What is a site and layout plan?

These plans display the significant features of the site for the purposes of a planning, and need to be clear enough to form part of the planning permit.

A site and lay out plan are plans drawn to scale and fully dimensioned including:

• The boundaries and dimensions of the site.
• Adjoining roads.
• The location, height and use of buildings and works on adjoining land.
• Relevant ground levels.
• The layout of existing and proposed buildings and works.
• All existing and proposed driveways, car parking, bicycle parking and loading areas.
• Existing and proposed landscape areas.
• All external storage and waste treatment areas.
• Any contaminated soils and filled areas, where known.
• The location of easements and services.
