Local validation list

What is the Local Validation List?

The Local Validation List clearly identifies the information that we normally require to be able to register, assess and determine your planning applications. The level of information required depends on the size and type of the application.

The Local Validation List also provides details about where to go to find out more specific guidance on each item. This ensures that everyone involved in the planning application process has greater certainty and consistency with their applications.

Planning Services aims to process new applications as efficiently and quickly as possible.

Do I have to use the Local Validation List?

Following public consultation Plymouth’s Local Validation List has now been formally adopted by the Council and from 31 August 2010 applications will not be registered if they do not meet these requirements.
