The Government has created a set of national standardised
planning application forms known as '1APP' that can be submitted to
any Local Planning Authority within the country. Please make
sure that you have checked our comprehensive Validation
Checksheets below when submitting your application. If
you do not send all the information we need then your application
will be deemed invalid.

What information do I need to provide with my application?
Valid planning applications
In support of the use of the 1APP forms and to provide
consistency and certainty the Government has introduced
new information requirements for the registration and validation of
planning applications. This is in the form of a
national statutory list which applies in all
cases and a local validation (requirements)
checklist that has been defined by the Local Planning
Authority and varies according to the type of application and
the scale of development proposed. South Lakeland have
produced a comprehensive / explanative document re:
Validation Checklists.
The Council aims to validate all applications within five
working days.
Note – if all the information required is not
submitted then the application will be deemed to be invalid and
will not be processed any further until all the information has
been supplied.
Invalid applications
When the Council considers an application to be invalid a
letter is sent to the applicant or agent which sets out the
additional information that is required in order to make the
application valid.
Additional information
Links to guidance on the additional information that may be
required to supplement a planning application based upon the
