Local Validation and Sustainability Checklist
The Local Validation and Sustainability Checklist clearly identifies the information that we will normally require, given both national and local requirements, to be able to register, assess and determine your planning applications. The level of information required depends on the size and type of the application as well as the specific site constraints and nature of development.
Not all the items listed under an application heading will apply in every case. Accordingly, the Local List also includes guidance which sets out the circumstances in which you will need to submit specific information. This ensures that everyone involved in the planning application process has greater certainty and consistency with their applications. We aim to process new applications as efficiently and quickly as possible.
The checklist is split into four appendices:
Appendix A - National requirements - these are mandatory
Appendix B - Householder Local Validation List
Appendix C - Local Validation List Depending on Development Type
Appendix D - Sustainability Checklist
