Map Requirements

  • The map must be provided on Ordnance Survey Mastermap backdrop showing sufficient surrounding details.
  • The map should be at an appropriate scale ensuring the details can be clearly interpreted.
  • All areas and boundaries should be clearly described/labelled
  • Vehicle access should be clearly shown.
  • The extent of any proposed area to be decrofted/apportioned etc should be clearly stated in hectares to 3 decimal places.
  • Dimensions for each boundary should be provided in meters, to 1 decimal point.
  • Map Coordinates should be provided for the the middle of the site. (Eastings & Northings or a six figure national grid format)
  • The map should include a scale bar and a North Arrow.

Please note that if the croft is already registered it is essential that the map provided to us matches the map on the Crofting Register.
