Property site plan template

A site plan shows a property on its plot and how it sits next to the road and the neighbours. This example draws a semi-detached house for a householder planning application, with the red line around the site, the existing house, a hatched rear extension, the driveway, trees with root protection areas, boundary distances, a north point, a scale bar and the site area figures.

This is a planning example, not legal or financial advice. Property and tenancy law differs by country and state and changes often: check current rules.

How to use this template

  1. Draw the boundary

    Start with the plot boundary in red and the road it faces. Add the neighbouring buildings so the planners can judge the effect on them.

  2. Show existing and proposed

    Draw what is there now, then the new work in a different fill. Mark distances to the boundaries where they matter.

  3. Add trees, access and the key

    Show trees and their root protection areas, parking and access, then add a north point, a scale bar and a key.
