Information we need with your planning application

For every application it is important that you provide us with all the correct information and plans and ensure that the correct certificates are completed.  In order to help you assess what information and plans may be required for your application we have produced a checklist of information requirements.

The validation checklist sets out details of the different types of information you should provide when submitting a planning application.  Whether your application requires additional supporting information will depend on the location and the "land use" history of the site, for example the site may fall within an Environment Agency flood zone or have a history of industrial use or because of the size or type of development proposed. The information is split into two validation fact sheets and the GPDO.

• National requirements
• Validation checklist 
• Residential permitted development order 2008

Please read the advice carefully because if you fail to provide information that is deemed necessary for your application we will not validate [register] your submission until all the information has been received.
