Provision of Extracts from Ordnance Survey Maps
With your Planning or Building Regulations application, you must submit copies of a location plan, preferably taken from an Ordnance Survey sheet and to a scale of 1:1250, clearly showing the location of the application site in relation to the adjacent properties.
From 1 October 2007, the City Council does not supply these plans. You can purchase extracts from Ordnance Survey maps from the following sources:
- If you are making an on-line planning application via the Planning Portal, the Portal provides Ordnance Survey map extracts for the application (at a charge).
- Customised Ordnance Survey maps are available from the Ordnance Survey: go to the Ordnance Survey website for details and information on stockists.
- In Leicester, you can buy commercial maps, and Ordnance Survey published and custom maps (including sets for planning and building applications) from the official Ordnance Survey Agent.
- Some Leicestershire County Council libraries (but not City Libraries at present) provide an Ordnance Survey Mapping service for planning applications. Go to the County Council's web site: www.leics.gov.uk/os_mapping_service for details.
Commercial street maps and Ordnance Survey maps are available from most bookshops.
