The application is to be accompanied by drawings in triplicate, sufficient to show exactly the nature of the proposals.

The drawings are to indicate clearly the existing arrangement and the proposed arrangement.

It may be desirable to show the existing and proposed separately. Only ONE copy of the EXISTING arrangement is required.

Otherwise all new work shall be clearly indicated by notes, colouring or hatching. The drawings will usually consist of floor plans and elevations to 1:50 scale or 1:100 scale and large scale details will probably be required for dormers, porches or similar items (though these may be deferred until a later stage).

IN ADDITION one copy of a location plan is required showing all the area around, together with house numbers. An A4 size print from the Ordnance Survey 1:1250 map will be suitable. The Trust can provide this for our own purposes for a fee of £5.00.
