New Validation Checklist for all applications
On 6 April 2008 the Government introduced new national arrangements for the making of planning applications. These relate firstly to the use of standard planning application forms (known as 1APP), and secondly to new information requirements for the validation of planning applications. This document gives guidance on the new validation requirements.

Approval of Details Reserved By Condition
Obtaining a planning permission should not be viewed as the end of your involvement with the Development Control Department. Rather this should be viewed as a further step in the ongoing development process.
Conditions are often imposed to regulate certain aspects of an approved scheme and are an essential element in the process. Were it not for the conditions it, is probable that planning permission would have been refused.
Conditions can also add the finishing touches to a scheme by making it more attractive, adding value and making it more marketable so everyone (you and the wider community) benefits.
Tree Preservation
Conservation Area Consent
Listed Building Consent
If you do not own all of the site (including gutters or foundations which overhand the boundary)
You must serve the Section B Notice (Article 6) on anyone other than the applicant who owns any part of the site. This also applies if any part of your development including guttering or foundations overhangs the boundary with a neighbouring property.
Design and Access Statements
A design and access statement is required for certain types of planning Applications. This is a short report to accompany and support a planning application to illustrate the process that has led to the development proposal, and explain and justify the proposal in a structured way.
The level and detail required will depend on the scale and complexity of the application.
One statement should cover both design and access, allowing the applicants to demonstrate an integrated approach that will deliver inclusive design and address a full range of access requirements through the design process.
A design and access statement must accompany planning applications for both outline and full permission with the exception of:
-
Material change of use, unless it also involves operational development;
-
Engineering or mining operations;
-
Extension to existing dwellings or development within the curtilage of a dwelling for purposes incidental to the dwelling unless it falls within a Conservation Area or is a Listed Building;
-
Advertisement Consent;
-
Tree Preservation Orders;
-
Hazardous Substance Consents.
A leaflet explaining what is required in a Design and Access Statement is available below, and advice as to how to complete a Design and Access Statement is available site of the Commission for Architecture and the Built Environment (CABE) www.cabe.org.uk| or at www.ignite-ne.com|
