For all operational development (such as all proposals except for tree applications and changes of use).

Policy Driver

Development Management Procedure Order (DMPO) 2015

Requirement

These should be drawn to a standardised metric scale preferably 1:50 or 1:100, include critical external dimensions (heights/ width/length etc.) and clearly show the proposed works in relation to what is already there. 

All sides of the proposal must be shown and these should indicate, where possible, the proposed building materials and the style, materials and finish of windows and doors. 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. It will not be necessary for an applicant to provide detailed information on elevations of existing buildings on the site if these will not be altered by the development proposal.

All applications for new buildings, extensions to existing buildings, and change of use of buildings.

Requirement

These should be drawn to a standardised metric scale preferably 1:50 or 1:100, include critical external dimensions (width /length etc.)And should explain the proposal in detail. Where existing buildings or walls 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).

All applications for new buildings and extensions to buildings, located on slopes and / or where a change in ground level is proposed.

Development Management Procedure Order (DMPO) 2015

Requirement

These should be drawn to a standardised metric scale preferably 1:50 or 1:100, include critical dimensions and should show a cross section(s) through the proposed building(s). In all cases where a proposal involves a change in ground levels, illustrative drawings should be submitted to show both existing and finished levels to include details of foundations and eaves and how encroachment onto adjoining land is to be avoided.

Full information should also be submitted to demonstrate how proposed buildings relate to existing site levels and neighbouring development. Such plans should show existing site levels and finished floor levels (with levels related to a fixed datum point off site) and also show the proposals in relation to adjoining buildings. This will be required for all applications involving new buildings.

In the case of extensions to existing buildings, the levels may be evident from floor plans and elevations, but particularly in the case of sloping sites it will be necessary to show how proposals relate to existing ground levels or where ground levels outside the extension would be modified. Levels should also be taken into account in the formulation of Design and Access Statements.

All applications for new buildings and extensions to buildings, where the proposed roof design is not a flat roof or mono-pitched roof.

Requirement

This should be drawn to a standardised metric scale preferably 1:50 or 1:100 include critical dimensions and is used to show the shape of the roof. It is typically drawn at a scale smaller than the scale used for the floor plans. Details such as the roofing material, vents and their location are typically specified on the roof plan.
