I need a map for
a planning
application, can
you help?
Yes we can.
OS Sitemap is
produced from
the latest
digital mapping
and is accepted
by Local
Authorities for
planning
applications.
The mapping is
available in a
variety of
scales/extents
and can be
dispatched to
you as paper
copies in the
post or as
digital files by
email.
Most Local
Authorities
require 1:1250
scale mapping,
some at 1:500
scale & some
request multiple
scales. If
multiple scales
are required for
your
application,
take advantage
of our
discounted
Sitemap Pack
that includes
1:500 and 1:1250
scale maps.
The various
scales/sizes of
maps are
detailed in the
