Site plans that set the scene
for your project

We produce clear, dimensioned site plans showing every aspect of your site — boundaries, buildings, access, and landscaping — to help planning officers understand your proposal.

What's included in our site plan service

We produce detailed site plans (also known as block plans) that show your property in its wider context. Every site plan includes the building footprint with dimensions, boundary lines and property boundaries, setback distances from boundaries, driveways and parking areas, landscaping and garden areas, and a north arrow and scale bar.

Site plans are a mandatory requirement for most planning applications in the UK. They help planning officers understand the relationship between your proposed development and the surrounding area — including access, privacy, and impact on neighbours.

We deliver your final site plan in PDF and AutoCAD DWG formats. Up to 3 rounds of revisions are included as standard on every project.

Site plans for UK planning applications

A site plan (or block plan) is required for almost every planning application in the UK. It shows the proposed development in relation to the surrounding area and is used by planning officers to assess access, privacy, impact on neighbours, and compliance with local planning policies.

Whether you're applying for a rear extension, a new build home, a change of use, or a conversion, we can produce a site plan that meets the requirements of your local planning authority — anywhere in England, Wales, or Scotland.

Types of site plans we produce

Location Plans

A wide-area plan (typically 1:1250 or 1:2500) showing the site in relation to surrounding roads, properties, and landmarks.

Block Plans

A more detailed plan (typically 1:500 or 1:100) showing the building footprint, boundaries, and site features in detail.

Site plan questions answered

What is a site plan?

A site plan (also called a block plan) is an overhead drawing showing your property and its immediate surroundings — including the building footprint, boundary lines, driveways, parking areas, and landscaping. It gives planning officers a clear picture of how your proposed development sits within the site and in relation to neighbouring properties.

Do I need a site plan for planning permission?

Yes — a site plan is required for almost every planning application in the UK. Most local planning authorities also require a location plan showing the wider area. Without them, your application will typically be invalidated before it's assessed.

What's the difference between a site plan and a location plan?

A location plan shows your site in the context of the surrounding area, typically at 1:1250 or 1:2500 scale, identifying roads and nearby landmarks. A site plan (block plan) is more detailed — usually at 1:500 or 1:100 — showing the building footprint, boundaries, and site features. Most planning applications require both.

What scale does a site plan need to be for planning permission?

Block plans are typically required at 1:200 or 1:500 scale. Location plans are typically 1:1250 or 1:2500. We produce all site plans at the correct scales for your local planning authority, clearly noted on the drawing.

What do I need to send you to get started?

A sketch of your site with measurements, an OS map or aerial photo with annotations, or the title plan from your property deeds. Any of these give us enough to work from to produce an accurate, council-ready site plan.

How long does a site plan take?

Most site plans are completed within 2–3 working days. We'll confirm your exact turnaround with your quote.

Are your site plans accepted by UK planning authorities?

Yes. We produce site plans to UK planning standards for local planning authorities across England, Wales, and Scotland. We maintain a 98% first-submission approval rate across all project types.
