Land Survey Data Your Planning Application Needs

A topographical survey is a detailed measurement of the ground surface — recording existing levels, features, boundaries, services, vegetation and all above-ground structures on and around a site. Planning authorities across Lancashire require this data to understand the existing site conditions before considering any new development proposal.

Preston City Council, South Ribble Borough Council and Chorley Council all require topographical survey data with applications for new development and external works across their respective areas. We ensure every topographical survey delivered in Preston is accurate, correctly formatted and ready to submit with your planning application without amendment.

  • Spot heights and contours across the full site area
  • Existing buildings, structures and hard surfaces
  • Boundaries, fencing, walls and tree positions
  • Drainage features, manholes and utility apparatus
  • Highway kerb lines, footpaths and access points
  • Supplied as AutoCAD .dwg and PDF to your specification

Architects in Preston

Topographical survey data is the base on which every new-build and site development design in Preston is built. Without accurate levels and feature data, your design is built on assumptions that will surface as problems during planning or on site.

We work directly with planning consultants across Lancashire to ensure survey data is submitted in the right format, to the right specification, first time.
