Summary of Decision

 

That the Cabinet Member agreed the revised draft local lists of information requirements for the validation of planning and related applications set out in Appendix 1 of the report for consultation purposes.

 

 

Reasons for Decision

 

To provide an up-to-date local list of validation requirements for planning and related applications, as required by national policy and guidance.

 

A local planning authority can only request supporting information with a planning application where this is specified on a formally adopted ‘local list’ which has been published on its website less than two years before an application is submitted.

 

This local list seeks to provide clarity on what information requirements for applicants and helps ensure we have all documentation required to allow the proper consideration of applications in addition to the basic documentation required by primary legislation, early in the process. By requiring this detail as part of the planning application it is often possible to prevent the use of conditions requiring further submissions which will reduce timescales for implementing permissions as well as reducing pressure on workload and resources.
