From 30 September 2007, Ordnance Survey changed their licensing agreement with Local Authorities. Worthing Borough Council are continuing to supply Ordnance Survey map extracts to support Planning and Building Applications. However, we are now providing this service in conjunction with an approved Ordnance Survey Partner. If you have used this service in the past you may notice that the appearance of the plans is slightly different. There has also been a change in the pricing structure as detailed below.

By contacting the Planning Services Section will be able to advise you on exactly which set of plans you need. Then contact the Support Services Team of Technical Services to order them.
