A Guide to Submitting Planning Applications (National and Local Requirements)

If information required by the national or local list is not provided, a notification will be sent to the agent (or applicant if no agent) giving 21 days to submit the relevant information required. If this information is not provided within 21 days a further notification will be sent giving an extra 7 days after which the application will be closed and any hard copy documents returned.

From 1 April 2022 a service charge for returned applications will be introduced. Due to a high number of invalid applications being handled by the authority which are returned prior to validation, we will reserve the right to deduct 10% of the planning fee to cover administrative costs.
