Why do you need my information?
Under the Town and Country Planning Act 1990, local authorities are responsible for determining statutory planning applications. Local Authorities must publish a local list of information requirements for submitted planning applications, in addition to the national mandatory information requirements specified in the Town and Country Planning (Development Management Procedure) (England) Order 2015. This is to provide clarity to applicants on what information should accompany their applications.
You have asked us to record your comments on the draft Validation Guide. We are unable to accept anonymous comments so we need your name and address (email or postal address) as without this information we will not be able to record your contribution.
