Report DRR 15/075

National Government Guidance required local planning authorities to undertake a regular review of their validation requirements for planning applications.  It was necessary to ensure that the list remained fit for purpose in the context of changes to National Legislation and development plan policies.

In this respect, Members were asked to formally adopt a revised Local List of Validation Requirements.  The revised list included amendments requested by Members at a meeting of the DCC on 10 February 2015 as well as addressing issues arising from an 8 week period of public consultation.

It was agreed that the word ‘generally’ be deleted from the second sentence of the paragraph headed ‘General guidance for drawings’ (page 97); the sentence was therefore amended to read: ‘Drawings which say ‘Do not scale’ are not acceptable.’.

RESOLVED that, subject to the amendment referred to above, the revised Local List of Validation Requirements be formally adopted.
