Review of Local list of Information Requirements (formerly known as Local Validation Criteria)

The Council are reviewing its Local List of Information Requirements (internal link) (formerly known as the Local Validation Criteria) when submitting a planning application and we would welcome any comments you may have on this document.

General Information on Local Validation Criteria

National Validation Requirements as well as Mandatory Local Validation Requirements should always be submitted with any application. However, applicants should consider in advance, any local validation requirements which might affect their particular application.

Local Validation Requirements may not be necessary on many applications. If, however, it is found that this information is required following validation, the application may be made invalid. If any advice or assistance is required on this, then please contact the Duty Planning Officer (internal link).

It is important that all information which is relevant to the application is submitted as if it is subsequently found that the application is invalid, any time periods will be suspended and the time to deal with the application will re-commence from the submission of any required details.

Changes to Note:

There is a change to the number of documents to be submitted for each Application.  Please check the note at the top of each table.
