Purchasing OS Maps for Your Planning Application

Twenty-two percent of planning applications that get bounced as invalid fail for one reason: the location plan doesn't meet the council's criteria. Not the drawings. Not the design. The map. It's the single most common reason for invalidation across England, and it delays your application by weeks while you sort it out and resubmit.

The good news is that getting your maps right is one of the cheapest and simplest parts of the entire planning process. The maps you need for your application cost £10–40 in total, and the whole ordering process takes about ten minutes online.
