Draft Local Validation List

Fenland District Council is running a 21-day consultation on a local validation requirements checklist for planning applications.

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.

The proposed validation list is linked to this page. The structure of the lists has altered and is now in a single consolidated document, rather than a separate list for each application type.

Have your say

We welcome comments until 5pm on 14 October 2024. 

Please email your comments to lvlc@fenland.gov.uk. Alternatively, you can write to the Planning Team at Fenland Hall, County Road, March, Cambs, PE15 8NQ.

After the consultation period, Fenland District Council will consider all the comments received and amend the Local Validation List as appropriate. Once approved this will form the basis on which planning applications are deemed valid by the Council.

Please note it will not be possible to respond to specific comments. However, all comments will be recorded and fed into the consultation process.
