In response to my planning application my local borough council has
asked for elevation drawings of my house. They have specified drawn
elevations at a scale of 1:50. At first glance this to me calculates
that 20mm on a page represents 1 meter in the real world. The back of
my house measures 4.9m high by 6.1m wide, which on paper would
translate to a rectangle 98mm high by 122mm wide. This is quite small
as a diagram and I can't help feeling I've got it wrong. Have I?

No, that's fine. An elevation for an 'ordinary' house (not a 2-Jags
mansion!) should fit comfortably onto an A4 sheet.

I've just submitted an application with elevations drawn at 1:100 (on a CAD
system) which are perfectly readable and hopefully(!) acceptable. [I've just
re-looked at my council's guidance notes, and they don't specify a scale for
elevations - though they do for everything else].

Remember - they'll also be looking at plans for a new Tescos - or even
Wembley Stadium. Think how big they'd be at 1:20 or whatever!
