Validation checklist

The validation list includes a national list of mandatory information that must be submitted with every planning application and a local list of our own requirements. You must refer to both the sets of requirements before formally submitting an application.

They describe the necessary types of plans and supporting documents and provide guidance explaining in what circumstances a certain plan or document is required, as well as what that those plans should identify or what type of information should be included.

The local validation requirements within these lists will apply to all applications submitted from 1 April 2020 onwards.
