SITE PLAN
Please note that the site plan (required in scale 1:100) fits very tight on an A3 size paper (the plot alone is going to be 28 x 28 cm, and the sheet is 29.7 x 42 cm)... so you probably wouldn't have the space to fit the surroundings, i.e. the street, the neighboring plots, etc. I would therefore advise you to either use a bigger size paper or to draw the site plan in scale 1:125.
Please remember that you should indicate orientation on the site plan (North/South).
