A lot grading plan is a detailed document specific to lot level conveyance during development, this outlines the proposed grading and drainage design for an individual lot. For residential projects they often show site servicing information to municipal standards. This plan is a crucial component submitted for site plan approval in development projects.

Lot grading plans focus on managing surface water drainage to prevent issues such as flooding, erosion, and property damage. They typically include information about the elevation of the lot, the placement of structures, and the grading of the land to ensure proper drainage away from buildings and toward approved drainage features, such as swales or stormwater management systems.

The plan may also incorporate details about the slope of the land, the location of catch basins, and the design of any retaining walls or other structures related to lot grading. By addressing these factors, lot grading plans aim to comply with local regulations, prevent water-related issues, and contribute to the overall functionality and sustainability of the residential development. Approval of the lot grading plan is often a prerequisite for the broader site plan approval process.
