Has anyone managed to get a copy of plans held by the local council under the freedom of information act. I tried to get a copy of someones extension for some 'inspiration' for designing mine. Unfortunately the coumncils reply was that 'it was not in the public interest for neighbours and or third parties to show the layout of neighbouring properties'

St. Albans DC website allows viewing of plans under application but not once they are passed. Something to do with copyright?

You are allowed to eyeball plans under consideration in the council offices, but not allowed to take a copy. I think they ultimately belong to the planning applicant rather than the council, so that is the person to ask.

Perhaps if you approach them, along with permission from the third party?
What format are proffesionally drawn plans produced in. I am talking about the large fold out type, not the home made A3 types.
Generally white paper and dark lines feature..quite heavily..and usually A1 is a nice size to work with..
Format is such a broad term...
AutoCAD?
