Planning application validation checklists
Local Validation Checklist
On 1st December 2011 the Council's
Executive agreed to the adoption of a Local Validation Checklist
for the purposes of validating and registering planning
applications. The Local Validation Checklist outlines a range of
different topic headings with separate individual threshold levels
which may require the need to provide additional supporting
information to any planning application. The Checklist may affect
proposals both large and small.
The Checklist document will come into effect
on 1st January 2012. Any application received after this
date which does not meet the validation requirements will not be
registered. It is therefore recommended that any proposal be
checked against the validation checklist prior to the submission of
any application.
The Local Validation Checklist seeks to
achieve a quicker, predictable and more efficient planning service
by providing all the necessary evidence at the beginning of the
planning application process. This will help councillors,
officers, stakeholders and the public to have a greater
understanding of the impact of any proposal on its site and
surroundings.
Should you require any assistance on any
validation requirements or wish to seek officers informal comments
on the merits of any proposed scheme please contact the planning
department who will be pleased to assist you with your enquiries.
The following checklists can be used to aid the submission of
your planning application. They specify
the additional information you must submit with your
application to validate and begin the process of your
application.
You can download the checklist which is relevant to your
planning application in PDF format below.
