The Council is currently undertaking an update of the Local List which is being consulted from 25 April to 26 May 2024.

The local validation list provides guidance about the level and type of information we need with a planning application, in order to provide a degree of certainty and clarity to assist applicants.

The requirements are proportionate to the nature and scale of your proposal.

Please read this document carefully before submitting your application. Indicative thresholds and criteria are given to help, but please note that not all the information set out in the local list will be required for every application.

If in any doubt about what information needs to be submitted then please contact us for advice. Advice on precise requirements for a specific proposal can also be obtained as part of our pre-application advice service.
