This list sets out the local validation requirements.  For each item the following guidance is provided:

Whilst guidance is provided for each item, the nature and extent of the information required will depend on the individual site and proposal.  The list is not exhaustive, and it is possible that once an application has been validated, further information may have to be submitted in order for the application to be determined.  The list does not therefore limit the Council’s ability to request additional information should further issues arise during the planning application determination period.
