Plan

The delineation or design of a city, a house or houses, a garden, a vessel, etc., traced on paper or other substance, representing the position and the relative proportions of the different parts. A plan referred to in a deed describing land as bounded by a way laid down upon a plan may be used as evidence in fixiug the locality of such way; Stetson v. Dow, 1G Gray (Mass.) 374; and if a plan is referred to in the deed for description, and in it are laid down courses, distances, and other particulars, it is the same as if they were recited in the deed itself; 3 Washb. R. P. 430. When houses are built by one person agreeably to a plan, and one of them, with windows and doors in it, is sold to a person, the owner of the others cannot shut up those windows, nor has his grantee any greater right; 1 Price 27; 2 Ry. & M. 24; 2 Saund. 114, n.
