Validation

Update 23.11.2020 - In light of the Government’s announcement last week, and with regard to National Planning Guidance and Amber Valley Borough Council’s declaration of a climate emergency, the council will now be negotiating EV charging points, and urging any other appropriate measures/features as appropriate, to be incorporated into all planning applications for major residential development.

Applicants proposing non-major residential schemes will also be strongly urged to consider any appropriate measures/features, including EV charging points, and to incorporate those measures/features into the development where such can be achieved.

_________________________________

Our process for registering applications is known as validation, where the planning authority decides whether it has correct and adequate supporting information to understand and fairly decide a planning application.

The government sought to standardise the information requirements for the different types of planning application by producing a national list of general requirements (such as a site plan). Each planning authority adds a list of local requirements (such as a flood risk or transport assessment). The information requirements may affect you as someone who is:

  • applying for planning permission
  • commenting on someone else's planning application
  • professionally consulted on planning applications
  • professionally assisting others in submitting planning applications
