Checklists for validation
When we receive your planning application, we check that you have:
- completed, signed and dated the correct application form
- provided details of the application address
- given an accurate description of the proposed development
- completed a land ownership certificate
- submitted the correct plans
- paid the correct fee (where required)
This process is called validation.
We cannot process your application until it has been validated. To avoid delays, make sure you submit the correct information at the start.
Missing or incorrect information causes delays for everyone and places additional pressure on our resources.
What information you need to provide
We will only ask for information that is needed to assess your application. Some information is always required before we can validate an application.
Each application type includes details of:
- documents you must provide
- additional documents that may be required, depending on your proposal
Check our validation checklists to find out what documents you may need before you apply.
