      On occasion, either for large urban sites or for large land holdings in rural areas, the standard A4 planning maps won't cover the extents with sufficient context. To meet this requirement we have created additional sheet sizes (A3/ A2 & A1) at 1:500, 1:1250 and 1:2500 scales.


      These larger sheet sizes can be purchased through both our online Stanfords Portal tool and our Manchester Service Centre. Please note that because of the increased areas of coverage, these plans will be considerably more expensive than the standard A4 planning maps, and therefore shouldn't be used instead of them if they suffice. To allow customers to assess the sort of coverage offered in comparison to the standard A4 plans, we have made available some samples (below). 

      About Stanfords:

      One of only 4 suppliers to receive Planning Portal accreditation, we are also unique in having been awarded Ordnance Survey's Outstanding Achievement Award for the past 3 years running. Our National Service Centre offers free telephone support between Monday and Friday 9.00 a.m to 6.00 p.m; the team are all fully trained in map production and provide outstanding support, especially for new users unfamiliar with this type of process.

      Unlike our competitors our online Stanfords Portal site offers all of the following benefits:

      • the ability to view your map before you buy it.
      • quick and easy user interface and download.
      • peace of mind your map is up to date with the correct licensing for your application.
      • the ability to highlight site boundaries in red or blue before purchase. No more need for felt tip pens!
      • the ability to annotate the map online without the need for additional software.
      • no need to convert file formats as these maps are supplied (word, pdf, tiff) ready to be either printed or uploaded to the Planning Portal as part of an electronic application.
      • very competitive pricing.
      • excellent support from our Manchester Service Centre team.


      The plans are available in monochrome or full colour and as a pdf, word doc or tiff. Please note that the tiff option is a much larger file than the others and should only be used by those who require interoperability in software packages such as Photoshop. Please also note that the word doc is the only format that allows customers to edit the address box information and the logos (for use by those organisations wishing to add their own logo by way of branding). All maps are supplied under Ordnance Survey's IBU (Internal Business Use) Licence. After the year passes the map file must be deleted from all systems and any further copying is strictly prohibited unless you have a valid OS Paper Map Copying Licence. All OS maps/ plans purchased from both our Service Centre and our Stanfords Portal online tool are current and in copyright.
