Planning maps

The maps are fully browsable and for each one a PDF version is supplied for more detailed inspection and for printing (maps are set to print at A3). For more information on the maps and how to identify land which is subject to appeal, consult the introduction document below.

There are pairs of maps for each geographical area. One view shows policy areas and the other shows the zones. They cover the same geographical area and have the same sheet number and title at the top left or top right corner. Click on any of the frames in the grid below to go to the policy map for that area. You can then toggle to the equivalent zone map by clicking on the link just above each policy map.
