Floor plans
Floor plans show the layout of the building.
In most cases, two separate sets of floor plans will be required: “existing” floor plans showing the building as it is now and “proposed” floor plans showing how the building will look, after the works have been carried out.
Floor plans should:
- Be to a scale of 1:100 or 1:50.
- Be clearly annotated existing and proposed.
- Show all floor levels (including roof levels) of the building(s) being constructed, altered or extended, in relation to the remainder of the building.
- Clearly state the use of each room and include position of windows, doors, walls and partitions.
- Clearly label each floor.
- Show the property boundary and parts of adjoining properties.
- State whether or not there will be any encroachment (eg foundations) onto any adjoining property if the proposed building is sited on a boundary.
- Identify anything to be demolished.
- Show the direction of north.
