Applying for planning permission
There are different forms covering various types of application, some of which can be combined (e.g. listed building and advertisement consent, householder and listed building).
Much more information needs to be submitted with many applications, details of which can be found in the government and local guidance documents.
Guidance documents
There are two documents to help make sure you know exactly what you need submit:
Government guidance document Validation of Planning Applications contains information and details you must supply with any planning application.
Validation of Planning Applications (opens pdf on Communities and Local Government site)
This Council has produced Planning Application Requirements (Local) which includes national and local requirements for planning applications. It can be downloaded as a pdf.
The document is divided into three parts:
- Part I contains compulsory requirements for the submission of an application, some of which are required by law and other information that we consider necessary in all cases
- Part II contains additional information which may be necessary for certain application types
- Part III contains validation checklists for the different application types based on the information contained in Part II.
If the information required in Parts I to III is not included with any application we are entitled to declare the application invalid and not register it.
Planning Application Requirements (Local) was the subject of public consultatIon for six weeks between January and February 2008. All representations received were considered by our Development Policy Panel on 28 February 2008 and the document was adopted on 2 April 2008.
Planning Portal
It is recommended that you send your application electronically through the Planning Portal, but it is still be possible to submit a paper-based application if you wish.
Planning applications fees
Fees are set by government and vary depending on the type of application. Details of fees and exemptions can be found by following these links:
