Request reassurance regarding scale of plans to be submitted

Advice given

With regard to the scale of plans to be submitted, here is my advice offered under s51 of the Planning Act 2008.

The Planning Inspectorate expect all plans submitted to be drawn to an identified scale not smaller than 1:2500, in accordance with APFP Regulation 5(3).

We will occasionally accept plans drawn to a smaller scale, when to do otherwise would be inappropriate; this is generally with regard to offshore schemes involving large areas of sea. We would be very unlikely to accept plans drawn smaller than the required scale involving onshore land acquisition, such as those required by APFP 5(2)(i)(j)(k)(n).

If you wish to submit any plans to a scale smaller than 1:2500 you will have to justify why the required scale was inappropriate on that occasion, and why no greater level of detail would be required.
