Local validation list

The Local Validation List sets out the information that is normally required to be able to register, assess and determine a planning application.  It also provides guidance on the level of information required depending on the size and type of the application.  The document also provides details about where to find out more specific guidance on each item. This ensures that everyone involved in the planning application process understands what is needed.   This document has been produced in order to assist customers when submitting applications for planning permission or other similar consents.

The Checklists set out the information requirements for different types of planning applications including an explanation as to when and why the information is needed, as well as what sort of information is required and where to get further guidance.

If in any doubt about what information needs to be submitted then please contact the Council for advice. Advice on precise requirements for a specific proposal can also be obtained as part of the Council’s pre-application advice service.
