Validation of Applications

To support the introduction of 1APP, the Government has introduced new guidance on the information required to be submitted with planning applications. This guidance is essentially in two parts:

• a "National List" of the information that must be submitted with all applications (completed forms, fee, plans and drawing etc)
• a "Local List" of additional supporting information they may be required depending on the nature of the application (Flood Risk Assessments, Tree Surveys, Planning Policy Statements, etc).

Local Planning Authorities are responsible for preparing their own Local Lists, drawing from published national guidance and having regard to local circumstances.


Further Information

Further information on the introduction of 1APP can be found on the Planning Portal website www.planningportal.gov.uk Government guidance in the form of "The Validation of Planning Applications: A guide for local planning authorities" is also available online via the DCLG website www.communities.gov.uk

If you are unsure of which of the standard forms to use please contact the Planning Team on 01502 523072 or e-mail pbc@waveney.gov.uk
