Superplan® plots
Technical
information
A Superplan plot is a hard copy, graphic map tailored to your needs.
The mapping is large scale and site-centred. By using our unique digital
system, Superplan can deliver customised graphic plots for anywhere
in Great Britain. Superplan plots have a wide variety of uses:

The very latest available survey information
We make nearly 5 000 updates everyday, so you can be sure of getting
the very latest map.
Site-centred
By putting your plot at the centre of the map, you see your site relative
to the surrounding area, and detail will no longer fall across sheet
edges. And it is cost-effective because you only pay for the area
you want.
Nationwide coverage
From city centres to upland moors, Superplan plots cover the length
and breadth of Great Britain.
Incredible detail and accuracy
You get the detail you need from large-scale mapping, the precision
you would expect from the country’s leading map supplier.
Customised mapping
Superplan plots can be delivered in a wide range of paper or film
sizes. By using Ordnance Survey’s National Topographic
Database, a plot can be produced at any scale, from 1:200 to
1:10 000 (original
scales are 1:1250 in urban areas, 1:2500 in rural areas and
1:10 000 in moorland areas). The plot size is only limited to
the
paper
or film width (820 mm) and to a maximum length of 3 metres.
It can also be rotated to follow linear features. And to emphasize
a specific
area of your map, it can be highlighted in colour.
The area measurement service
This service enables you to select the exact area to be measured. You
will then receive a report detailing the parcel number, reference
number and the measurements in both hectares and acres.
