Validation checklist

The validation checklist is a document designed to help developers, applicants and individuals identify information required to be submitted in support of a planning application.

Following the publication of new guidance by the Department of Communities and Local Government on 6 April 2010 all local planning authorities were required to amend their checklists. Accordingly, a revised validation checklist was produced and consulted on between 17 September 2010 and 12 November 2010. Following a review of the comments received, the revised checklist was adopted in August 2011 and is available below.
