Application Validation Checklist

Local List of Information Requirements for Planning Applications

The Government introduced the Standard Application Form on 6th April 2008, which includes specific National information requirements. Any application that does not include the information requested, and is not submitted on the Standard Application Form, will be invalid.

In addition to the National requirements the Government is encouraging local planning authorities to produce their own list of local requirements drawn from a list of topics that the Government have provided in guidance which was issued in December 2007. This guidance can be found at their website: www.communities.gov.uk/publications/planningandbuilding/validationplanningapplications

The Council has prepared a Local List of Information Requirements. A Local List has been prepared for each of the proposed Standard Application Forms. Guidance Notes have also been produced relating to the Local Lists.

The Council encourages pre-application discussions which will enable applicants to be informed of all information requirements for an application they are considering submitting. These can help in reducing delays in processing applications and avoiding invalidation of submitted applications.
