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]
