Application for Trust Consent

This application is to be accompanied by:

DRAWINGS IN TRIPLICATE to indicate clearly the PROPOSED ARRANGEMENT and sufficient to show exactly the nature of the proposals in their context.

ONE DRAWING OF THE EXISTING ARRANGEMENT and one completed application form.

ONE COPY OF A LOCATION PLAN 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.

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 to a later date).

Where the application property is semi-detached, in a terrace or part of a larger group, the adjoining buildings must be shown, along with the location and nature of the boundaries between them. PLEASE NOTE the Trust makes no warranty as to the location of boundaries between properties when considering your application. This includes where the Trust is a neighbouring land owner. Please refer to an appropriate professional advisor for advice on the exact location of property boundaries. If the Trust is an adjoining owner please contact the Trust's Estate Manager for clarification of boundary locations.
