Block plans

These are useful in illustrating what the development proposes. You may want to show the site boundaries; the type and height of boundary treatments (walls, fences); where changes are proposed; and the position of buildings outside the boundaries if these buildings influence or could be affected by the development.

Block Plans are needed for the following:

1. development that exceeds the existing footprint
2. new build
3. access for crossovers
4. multiple advertisement signs for larger sites

The block plan must show:

• scale 1:500
• scale bar indicating a minimum of 1-10m at a scale of 1:500
• north point
• paper size
• show proposed extensions and new build hatched
• show all adjoining properties

Give your plan a logical name or title.
