How to Obtain Location Plans for Planning Applications
Any maps required for use with a planning application must be obtained from an authorised vendor. The Council is not able to supply Ordnance Survey maps direct to the public.
Online Sources
The following links list sources for buying maps online. Other online mapping services may also be available. If obtaining maps from other sources, please ensure that they are appropriate for their intended use as site location plans. Land Registry plans are not suitable.
