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 checklist that has
been defined by the Local Planning Authority and varies
according to the type of application and the scale of development
proposed.
The Council adopted its local validation
checklists on 14th February 2008. The lists set
out the information that may be required for
each of the different types of planning application and can be
viewed using the links below.
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
Guidance on the additional information that may be required to
supplement a planning application based upon the validation
checklists can be viewed on the
Additional
information web page.
Application packs containing the relevant application form and
the associated information and guidance notes are available for the
following application types:-
