Validation requirements
Information to support your application
All applications need supporting information.
Each application type has its own national and local information requirements. You must submit the documents required by the development you are proposing. You can view individual validation checklists for each type of application or read through the full list of planning validation requirements:
To avoid delays please ensure we receive all the necessary plans, supporting documentation and check:
- the necessary application fee has been paid
- the ownership certificate submitted is correct.
- you have included a site location plan and block plan showing the location and boundaries of the site. Guidance is below and site plans can be bought online through the Planning Portal.
- a completed Community Infrastructure Levy additional information form (CIL form 1) has been submitted. See guidance notes below.
- the Assumption of CIL liability form has been submitted to ensure that the CIL liability notice is issued to the correct party. The responsibility to pay runs with the ownership of the land, unless another party has assumed liability. Visit the CIL webpages for further information.
- the plans submitted show the existing situation and the proposed scheme adequately or accurately.
You must apply the naming conventions below and combine related plans/documents to reduce the number of separate files.
All applications are assessed digitally and we require a scale bar to be included on all plans to allow us to scale and measure electronically.
Depending on the site and your proposal, other technical reports and information may be needed as set out in the validation checklists.
You can also see advice on content of supporting documents including complying with national requirements such as design and access, fire statements and biodiversity net gain information.
