Checklist and validation

When we register an application we have to check we have the correct and adequate information to understand your proposal and make a fair decision. This is called validation.

Use the checklists and validation documents below if you're:

applying for planning permission
commenting on someone else's application
professionally consulting on applications
professionally helping others' applications.

The documents contain national and local requirements.
