7 Procedure for the submission of site plans for a new connection enquiry Introduction In order to provide a quotation, we require two copies of the Location Plan and two copies of the Site Layout Plan, together with your. The Location Plan shows where to find the proposed site for the new connection. The Site Layout Plan provides further details on how the site is laid out and includes dimensions of the new connection. Location Plan 1 All applications should have two Location Plans enclosed. You must highlight the site location on the plan. 2 Location Plans can be obtained by using A-Z street maps or via the internet, which is now available at most public libraries. The following internet sites offer instant Location Plans: multimap.com ordsvy.gov.uk 51m 54m School Drain Bowling green Site location 57m 52m 48m Diagram 1 Example of a Location Plan 7/8

8 Site Layout Plan 1 In the absence of an architect s drawing, all applications need to have two Site Layout Plans enclosed. You must draw all proposed buildings and accesses onto the site plan showing accurate measurements. 2 The full site address and proposed meter position should be marked onto the plan with an X (see across for guidelines on meter positions). 3 The size of the new building should be shown on the plan as well as its position on-site in relation to existing features of the site plan using measurements. 4 Measurements should be taken and drawn on the plan to show the position and size of the new building to the nearest 0.1m. 5 Measurements should be taken from permanent features on-site eg existing buildings, boundaries, footpaths and kerb lines. Measurements should be legible and easy to read. 6 Any existing buildings to be demolished should also be marked on the plan. 7 Please include the site boundary. 8 Please mark any access roads and temporary accesses to the site. Please do not take measurements from doorways, gateposts, bay windows, temporary posts and garden gateways or street furniture eg lamps, signs and bollards. Meter position Commercial supplies (up to 100 Amps) should be installed in outdoor meter boxes. These should be mounted onto an external wall on the front or side elevation of the property in front of any fence or gates to allow unrestricted public access. They should be fitted at a minimum height of 450mm and a maximum height of 1,050mm from ground level to the bottom of the box. The following meter positions are not permitted: at the rear of the property at the side of the property behind fences or gates facing or opening directly onto public footpaths or into alleyways or entries within a coal dustbin, refuse store, garage or porch under windows, unless minimum installation height can be achieved. Note: any proposal of indoor meter positions will only be accepted where the developer can demonstrate that the Local Planning Authority will not permit an outdoor meter box by virtue of the building being listed, in a conservation area, or for a commercial supply where a meter box is not feasible eg shop frontage. 3 Show the size and position of the new building 4 Measurements taken should be to the nearest 0.1m 1 Proposed buildings and their access must be shown on the site layout NEW HOUSE 7 Mark the site boundary 5 Measurements to be taken from permanent features on site 2 Show the site address and meter position 8 Show the access roads and temporary accesses PROPOSED NEW PROPERTY 26 CHURCH STREET ANYTOWN 6 Show any existing buildings that are to be demolished Diagram 2 Example of a Site Layout Plan Note: Site Layout Plans can be obtained from Local Council offices, high street map shops and Ordnance Survey stockists. There is a charge for this service. Site plans are at a scale of 1:1250 or 1:500 and show the existing geographical area. 8/8
