Plans and drawings – site location
A site location plan shows the site in relation to the wider area, so anyone looking at the plans can quickly and easily identify the location.
Site location plans:
-
are usually drawn to a scale of 1:1250 for urban sites, but may be 1:2500 for rural sites
-
must have the scale bar printed clearly on the plan itself
-
must have at least two cross streets visible and labelled
-
must show the site – house and garden – edged in red, while any other land owned by the applicants, such as an adjoining site or paddock or field, may be edged in blue
-
must have an arrow that points to the north
-
are not usually rotated on the page – north is usually the top of the page
