Maps

Proposals Maps

These are an integral part of the Plan. They are available in two formats:

  • An interactive map, mostly on an Ordnance Survey base. These are recommended for online use as they are quite fast and you can zoom in to see the detail.
  • PDF: recommended for offline use or for printing. These can usually be magnified to see some more detail. Some of these are quite large and you may need a fast broadband link and a powerful computer to see them.
