Local Validation List

5. Legal Background:

The National Planning Policy Framework states at Paragraph 193 that:

"Local planning authorities should publish a list of their information requirements for applications, which should be proportionate to the nature and scale of development proposals and reviewed on a frequent basis. Local planning authorities should only request supporting information that is relevant, necessary and material to the application inquestion."

The need for a Local List is set out in the following legislation:

The Town and Country Planning (Development Management Procedure) (England) Order 2015 Growth and Infrastructure Act 2013
