Planning maps question.

john_cappa · 13-09-2011 6:45pm #1

Just filling in the application form for outline planning permission. Question 1 (didnt take long to get stuck lol) asks for the Ordinance Survey Map Ref no and grid refere3nce in terms of Irish Transverse Mercator?

Where can i get this from? Area is co limerick if that makes a difference.

I haven't bought a planning pack? or even know what it is?

All local authorities demand that Ordnance Survey Maps used for planning application purposes are original OS maps. The easiest way to ensure this is to buy what's known as a 'planning pack' from your nearest OS agent. This pack includes 6 1:2500 scale maps and 1 or 6 1:10560 scale maps. It also has the Ordnance Survey stamp on the maps to prove that they're originals.

In the top right hand corner of each of these maps you'll see a note which says 'ITM Centre Point Coordinates' with a series of numbers underneath - these numbers are your grid reference provided your site is centred in the map (which it should be).

Somewhere below this you'll see a heading which says ' Map Sheets' and whatever is written in here is your OS Map number.

As part of your application you will need 6 copies or a set of OS Maps

(these can be got either from the ordnance survey or an agent of theirs or through a copyright registered planning agent)
to a scale of 1:2500 in a rural area or 1:1000 in an urban area. If the maps are got through an OS agent the references you need will be on the top right hand side of each map.

You need some help with your application, I would advise going to a local planning agent.

Supertech seems to know his/her stuff there, but you can find the ITM for a site in a quicker way...

Follow the link below and zoom in to your site - hover the mouse over the site and read off the ITM Co-ordinates in the box at the bottom left corner

http://ims0.osiemaps.ie/website/publicviewer/main.aspx#V1,600000,750000,0

(link not working at the moment, but I'd imagine it will be OK again tomorrow)

That said, you may well have to follow Supertech's advice eventually anyway...

You will still need the pack for the actual application.

john_cappa, you should take PUT's advice, if you asked such a question:

That may well work, but it would be better for use the numbers from the planning pack on the small chance that they differ slightly.

Buy the planning pack but get a photocopy of one of the maps before you start outlining in red and blue and putting all the info on an original. There is alot of info that has to go into a planning application, even one for outline so be careful, take it slow and the best of luck.

The planning process is open to everyone, you dont need to be an engineer or architect to put together and submit a planning application but obviously it would save alot of hassle, time and effort to have a professional do it for you. No harm in trying it yourself first though. Even if you get the application invalidated the only thing you will really lose money on is the newspaper notice (and reprinting any documentation that has the dates on it) and you would have to submit quite a few newspaper notices to get to architects fees:D

They are definitely available in cad compatible format. Vector format is what you are looking for. They are on the website at 80 quid approx for planning pack.

Edit, click on the business tab in your own link and you will see the options.

Ya there is no issue with anyone buying them. The sales office will handle queries quickly. You can send them coordinates for the area you need, they will send back a screen capture to confirm the area and go from there.
