No I can't confirm if it's new or not . I can only confirm it was what was needed for me to achieve a extension based on retirement. The photos are easy, just print them in color. I provided 1 of bungalow, 1 of me standing inside, 1 of the other houses around. 1 hand drawn map , 1 Google maps copy in color.
