Validation requirements
We need specific information from you to validate your planning application. Without this the application will be invalid, which will delay the statutory start date of your application until the required information is received.
What is required includes an application form, plans and supporting reports in line with our Local Planning Application Requirements (LPAR) (PDF 884KB). Please note your application will be subject to an additional administration charge if it is invalid. Please see the above link for full details.
