Interactive Plan
To use this interactive version of the Uttlesford District Council's Local Plan to its full potential it is recommended that the user reads the following 'How to Use' guide first.
Note: This electronic version of the Local Plan has been produced to improve accessibility to the Local Plan document. However the printed version is the official version and takes precedence over the electronic copy in all cases. The style of the local plan document on this website follows the style used in the official version.
How to Use the Interactive Local Plan
The Local Plan is divided into 2 parts; Written Statement and Proposals Maps.
Navigating around the Written Statement
Contents
Selecting 'Written Statement' above will show a complete list of all the chapters, appendices and figures contained within the Local Plan. Selection of a chapter, appendix or figure will open the Written Statement scrolled to the appropriate position. You can scroll through the chapter using either your scroll keys on your keyboard, the scroll bar to the right of the screen or by the scroll wheel on your mouse (if applicable). You can move between chapters by using the links at the bottom of the chapter or by reselecting from the contents page.
Navigating around the Maps
Selecting the 'Proposals Maps' link above will display the Proposals Maps navigation page - a drop down menu of all maps, a postcode search and a clickable map of the district. All methods take you to an opening image of the selected inset/proposals map, click on the image to progress into the map window. Alternatively, there is the option to open the Proposals Map at the 'centre' point.
Navigating around the 'Map Window'
In the Main Map Window (see screenshot below) the 'locator' map on the top right shows the geographical location of the main map image within Uttlesford DC. The lower 'locator' map shows the geographical location of the main map image within the Proposals or Inset Map. You can navigate around the currently selected map sheet or inset map by using the arrows located around the main map image. By clicking on these, the next 'map tile' in that direction will appear. For moving larger distances you can click on the 'Locator' Map to the right. Please note that any movement of the main map image will be correspondingly matched by the blue locator on the 'Locator' Map(s).
The header bar contains a link to the 'Key' page. On selection a new window will appear showing all the colours and styles used in the mapping to represent the policies featured within the Local Plan. This is a useful guide when identifying policies shown on the maps. It is recommended that you leave this window open whilst navigating the mapping section of the Local Plan.
Hovering your mouse over the main map image produces a tip tag, indicating what policies apply to the relevant position of your mouse. By clicking at that position you will open a new window with a listing of all policies for that location. By selecting each one in turn the relevant text will appear. Use the back button in your web browser to return to the listing.
