Update to local list of validation requirements consultation

Consultation to update the local list of validation requirements.

This consultation ran from 8 March to 2 April 2024.

The National Planning Policy Framework sets out that local planning authorities must publish a local validation list for planning applications and review it frequently.

We have updated our list (published in July 2021) and are carrying out this consultation because:

  • a significant amount of time has passed since the previous consultation
  • we have made a number of changes

The changes we have made largely reflect changing policy, nationally and in London.

What happens next

We will consider any comments made and produce a report setting out our response to the comments. We will then publish a final list.
