Elevations - existing and proposed
When are these required?
In all cases where the elevations will change as a result of the proposal.
What is required?
Elevations should be drawn to a scale of 1:50 or 1:100 and show clearly the proposed works in relation to what is already there. All sides of the proposal must be shown. These should indicate, where possible, the proposed building materials and the style, materials and finish of windows and doors. Blank elevations must also be included, if only to show that this is in fact the case.
For new buildings, full information should also be submitted to demonstrate how proposed buildings relate to existing site levels and neighbouring development. Such plans should show existing site levels, finished floor levels and finished height (with levels related to a fixed datum point off site) and also show the proposals in relation to adjoining buildings. Where a proposed elevation adjoins another building or is in close proximity, the drawings should clearly show the relationship between the buildings, and detail the positions of the openings on each property.
