WHAT IS A 1:500 SCALE MAP?

A 1:500 scale map is a detailed Ordnance Survey mapping extract that displays your property and nearby features like access points, surrounding buildings and boundary lines. It is often paired with a 1:1250 map when applying for planning permission.

Each plan is created from official Ordnance Survey mapping data and formatted to meet local authority standards:

  • Enlarged view of a standard Ordnance Survey extract
  • Also known as a block site plan or site plan scale 1:500
  • UK block plans are suitable for all types of developments
  • Meets UK council standards for planning applications

This map supports planning applications across the UK, including listed building consent and building control submissions.
