Planning application validation checklists

Depending on the type of application, you’ll need to provide different documents to make the application valid. If these documents are not submitted we will not be able to consider your application. We check each application against a list of required documents (known as the ‘local list’) and will ask you to provide any documents that are missing. If these are not provided your application may not be accepted in which case you will need to re-submit your application.

When an application is valid and registered, the planning case officer will visit the site to assess the proposals. For Householder applications, officers can’t make appointments for such visits but will introduce themselves to the householder when they make their visit, if appropriate. If an officer is unable to view the site independently, they will make an appointment for a suitable time to visit. 

For details of what you need to submit, select the type of application you want from the menu below. Click on the requirement within the application type for more information as to when it is required.
