In order to support your planning application, you will need to provide a location plan and your local authority's planning office can advise you on how detailed this should be. They will express this as a map scale which will be 1:2500, 1:1250 or sometimes 1:500.
Whether you are a private individual or a commercial developer, OS Sitemap® can help you to fulfil this requirement. It clearly shows the outlines of buildings and roads and as you specify exactly where the centre of the map should be, you only pay for what you need.
