planning drawing help
Discussion
Hi all,
In an absurd situation of having to apply (retrospectively) for planning for my garden shed (which is already built)
I thought we'd complied with everything they asked for but I need the following..
- external metric figured dimensions for the shed and site boundaries annotated on a proposed site plan (scale 1:200 or 1:500
- proposed floor layout and all elevations (scale 1:150 or 1:100) with annotated metric figured dimensions for length width and height.
I have all the dimensions but have no clue how to put them in the format they require.
Anyone any clues?

Site plan is just a plan; make sure it is accurate and shows a scale, title and drawing number and you will be fine.
Floor plans and elevations; Google 'orthographic projection', and again make sure it is to scale and has a title and drawing number.
... but if you have to ask, you may be better off paying someone to do it for you (there are usually people advertising plans drawing for extensions and the like in the classifieds of your local rag who will be cheaper than a 'proper' Architect or Surveyor, if you don't have any friends in the trade).

I would have thought something like this would be sufficient http://www.centremaps.co.uk/product/3256
Just order online and mark it up yourself and send to the council.

Sam's 100% right, doesn't need to be over complex. Something like Floor plans and elevations; Google 'orthographic projection', and again make sure it is to scale and has a title and drawing number.

should do the trick. As he's said if you aren't confident it may be better getting someone to draw it up for you and it might even make a difference at the planning authority.
If you have all the info, a rough sketch and your house address, it shouldn't cost you more than £100-200 all in.
A couple of evenings work at most, plus some costs for downloading the original OS data.
