Consultation launched as district council reviews local validation requirements for planning applications
Fenland District Council, as the local planning authority, is reviewing its local validation requirements checklist for planning applications - and is urging people to share their views.
The Council is running a 21-day consultation seeking views on its Draft Local Validation List, from 23 September to 14 October.
The National Planning Policy Framework sets out that local planning authorities must publish a local validation list for planning applications and review it frequently.
A validation list tells people who are submitting planning applications what supporting information will be needed.
It also provides advice on the detail and scope of that information, as the information required will be dependent on the scale and nature of the proposal.
Cllr Dee Laws, the Council's Portfolio Holder for Planning, said: "A Local Validation List allows planning applications to be accepted and validated in a timely and efficient manner. Without one, the planning process can be significantly delayed as the correct information may not be submitted as part of the initial application. The List is a key document for any individual or agency seeking to submit a planning application, so it is important that we get the views of anyone who may use it."
