WHAT IS A 1:100 SCALE DROPPED KERB PLAN?
An Ordnance Survey 1:100 map is a zoomed-in extract of the OS MasterMap Topography Layer®. It's often referred to as a footway crossing plan, a 1:100 block plan, or a 1:100 dropped kerb drawing. It also functions as a dropped kerb standard drawing, accepted by many local authorities.
It provides the scale and details needed for:
- Driveway or house extension proposals
- Complying with Dropped Kerb Planning Applications
- Illustrating exact access points
- Showing any trees or grass verges used by landscape architects and gardeners
This is not the same as a location plan. It provides greater resolution for kerb alterations or surface changes, and may be used alongside a 1:1250 scale map.
WHEN DO I NEED A DROPPED KERB PLAN?
Dropped kerb plans are typically needed when applying to your local council to alter the kerb or footway of your property. It’s often a required document in the application process, especially if:
- The property is located on a classified road
- The site falls within a conservation area or near a listed building
- Written consent is required from neighbouring landowners or the council for trees that may be affected
- You plan to convert a front garden into a driveway or parking area
A site plan 1:100 map illustrates safety, visibility, and layout clearly for planning review.
WHO SHOULD USE THIS 1:100 DROPPED KERB PLAN?
1:100 scale maps are essential for both private and professional use cases.
Common users include:
- Homeowners applying to install a driveway or improve vehicle access
- Architects and planning consultants managing kerb change submissions
- Contractors working on public paving or construction
- Legal professionals handling land boundary form submissions
