Planning Applications

Submit a planning application

Validation

Applications can only be considered once all the required information is received, along with the correct fee. Incomplete applications cannot start to be considered costing both parties time. In most circumstances your application must be accompanied by plans and drawings of the site, details of any proposed works and the fee. You must also complete a certificate to confirm that you own the land or have notified all owners of the land. 

The following Local Validation Lists will be used to ensure that the necessary information is provided at the point of planning applications being submitted, and to prevent any delays in validation.
