Under current UK legislation and person can make an application to develop a certain piece of land
, even if they do not have current ownership of it. When the application is being made then there needs not be any declaration of adjacent ownership however in any application , planning maps must be used to specify the exact location of the application.
Even if the applicant owns, or is applying for multiple adjacent applications, there is no obligation to consolidate those in one application. Each application should be kept separate and individual planning maps should be used in each instance. If the application is successful then the statement of purpose for the site specified within the planning maps can be altered pending application as well as the design of the development.
The planning applications can be legally sold as part of a sale or transfer which means that it is a valid company asset. There are certain powers that local authorities have however if laws are passed affecting national legislation then the local authority can open itself to legal action, as nation legislation is often seen as dominant.
Planning maps are an integral part of the development process and certain local UK authorities have partnered with online mapping providers to deliver automated access to quality mapping extracts. This enabled service providers to combine a broad range of scaled maps with aerial photography to ensure that ordinance survey maps for planning applications were easily obtained.
Planning maps can be obtained in three easy stages, ensuring that your planning map is compliant with your local authority's application procedure. National and local legislation often leans toward the side of the applicant sue to the tax revenue generated by commercial enterprises and the applications will be refused only on the basis of overriding peripheral issues.
Today's society has an ever growing requirement for housing in all parts of life. The divorce rate means that more families are splitting, creating need for more housing. The local housing associations are dealing with an ever increasing number of applicants on their waiting list and this all leads towards the need for development of non residential land.
Planning maps are in place to ensure that protected green belt areas or any other protected areas are not infringed upon and so the exact destination of the application is confirmed on a valid ordinance survey map. Online resources for planning maps are essential to the planning application process, especially since the termination of the Ordnance Survey's Map Returns Scheme.
