Planning-map essentials

Which map should you prepare for Fermanagh and Omagh?

Many applications use two complementary drawings: a location plan to identify the land and a block or site plan to show the site and proposal in more detail. The application type and local validation list determine what else is needed.

Wider site context

Location plan

Shows the application site in its surroundings, commonly at 1:1,250 or 1:2,500. The red line must identify all land forming the application site, including relevant access.

Questions about maps for Fermanagh and Omagh

What location plan should I submit to Fermanagh and Omagh?

Use a current, licensed map at a recognised metric scale with the application site clearly outlined in red, other nearby applicant-owned land in blue where relevant, a north point and enough road and building context to identify the site. Check Fermanagh and Omagh's current validation requirements for the final specification.

Is a site location plan the same as a location plan for Fermanagh and Omagh?

Yes. The two terms normally describe the wider map used to identify the application site, commonly at 1:1,250 or 1:2,500.

What is the difference between a site plan and a block plan?

The terms are often used for the same closer, detailed plan. It commonly uses 1:200 or 1:500 and shows the site layout, buildings, boundaries, access and proposed work.

Can I use an OS plan for a Fermanagh and Omagh application?

Ordnance Survey mapping is commonly used as a detailed base for planning maps, but the finished document still needs the correct scale, boundary, context, paper size and planning-use licence.

What if my planning map does not print to scale?

Match the PDF sheet size to the printer paper, select Actual size or 100%, turn off Fit or Scale to fit, then measure the printed scale bar. Do not stretch the PDF.
