HOME | MAKING A PLANNING APPLICATION

VALIDATION OF PLANNING APPLICATIONS

The Government introduced a mandatory standard application form and associated information requirements for validation of applications from 6 April 2008.

 

As part of the drive to provide a quicker, more predictable and efficient planning service, the Government is introducing a new standard electronic application form for applications for planning permission made under the Town and Country Planning system and Listed Building and Conservation Area consent regime.

 

Alongside this and to support the use of this standard application form, the Government is also introducing new information requirements for the validation of planning applications by local planning authorities.

 

Different types and scale of application will require different levels of information and supporting documentation to be submitted. In all cases the requirements will be specified by the local planning authority. Under the new arrangements, these will comprise a national core list that will apply in all cases, and additional items specified locally from a list provided by central government.

 

The combined use of the national and local list will afford both the authority and applicant more certainty of the type of information required at the outset and help to ensure that the information requested is proportionate to the type and scale of application being made.

 

If an applicant submits an application not in accordance with both the national and local lists the authority will be entitled to declare the application invalid, and so decline to determine it.

 

Check with the following lists the information that is likely to be required but always check the Councils website for their specific local requirements: [THIS IS A WORK IN PROGRESS]
