Planning Application Form.

BEFORE FILLING OUT THIS FORM PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING:

STANDARD PLANNING APPLICATION FORM AND ACCOMPANYING DOCUMENTATION:
Please ensure that each section of this application form is fully completed and signed. The applicant should enter n/a (not applicable) where appropriate.
Please ensure that all necessary documentation is attached to your application form.
Failure to complete this form or attach the necessary documentation, or the submission of incorrect information or omission of required information will lead to the invalidation of your application.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
It should be noted that each planning authority has its own development plan, which sets out local development policies and objectives for its own area. The authority may therefore need supplementary information (i.e. other than that required in this form) in order to determine whether the application conforms with the development plan and may request this on a supplementary application form.
Failure to supply the supplementary information will not invalidate your planning application. However, if it is not supplied, the planning authority may not be able to reach a decision on whether or not to grant permission on the basis of the information available to it. Therefore failure to supply this information could delay the decision on an application or lead to a refusal of permission.
Applicants should therefore contact the relevant planning authority to determine what local policies and objectives would apply to the development proposed and whether additional information is required.
