Features of a Site Plan
Site Plan
From the site plan, location of the work with respect to the surroundings is known. Site plans are prepared in line diagrams to a scale of 1cm = 5 m to 1 cm = 10 m showing the orientation of the building, boundaries of land, position of roads, drains, sewer lines, water pipelines, adjoining plots of lands with their ownership. The north direction is also shown on one of the corners of the site plan to show the geographical orientation of the building.A site plan is a large scale drawing that shows the full extent of the site for an existing or proposed development. Site plans, along with location plans, may be necessary for planning applications. In most cases, site plans will be drawn up following a series of desk studies and site investigations.
