Submission of Plans and Associated Documents

Applications for Construction Consent should be accompanied by two paper copies of detailed working drawings folded to A4 size which should include the following:

• A layout plan of the carriageways, footways, cycleways, verges, footpaths, cycle paths, retaining walls, bridges, drainage systems and earthworks to a scale of 1:500 (1:200 where pedestrian/vehicle/cycle shared surfaces are proposed) showing:
• the proposed centre, building and kerb lines (and also the back of the footway where this differs from the building line)
• curve radii of the road alignment and junctions
• dimensioned visibility splays at road junctions
• vehicular access points to properties
