hi does anyone know how i can get a block map and site map for free? i can only find companies that provide these at a cost. iam submitting a change of use application (which is stressfull enough with no help or advice available) at a high cost to me and cant afford this extra. the council state it needs plan dimension, direction of north, scale and paper size ???? thanks

I don't, but if you find out any more please post back because I may be doing something similar in the not too distant future ...

You should be able to get a copy of the large scale OS map (1:1250 for planning) at your local library for the cost of a copy/printout, 20p or so. You will have to sign a declaration that it is for private use or study so depends how strong your morals are?

Otherwise you can get copies for about £10 - £20 online

ok thanks. do you know the company that charges £10? i can only find companies that charge £30-£33 for one map and its not even the right size to include the access to the highway so will have to purchase 2 maps. £66 :eek::eek:

The costs start at around £10 depending on size and scale so may not be big enough for your site. Have you tried the planning portal website? They have a link to 4 sites providing site plans, I think Streetwise is one of the cheapest/easiest.
