You can apply for the marking out of the building line using the online form via the ‘Apply’ button. Please provide the following details on the form:
- The licence number issued
- The location or address of the structure
- The name and telephone number of the contact person. This can be yourself or someone else.
Within 10 working days of your request, we will arrange a meeting with the contact person. During the meeting, we will mark out the building line and the reference elevation (for project areas only) on site. This will be formally recorded in a document known as a ‘building line letter’.

If you are in doubt about the exact location of the plot boundaries (especially the side boundaries) you can via the Land Registry website submit a request for plot boundaries to be marked out on site, for a fee.
You can also go to the Land Registry for a dimensional sketch (fieldwork) of the cadastral plot. This is especially important if you are building your structure near the side boundary of a plot and the accessibility of the (other) plot is at stake.
