Local Validation List Consultation

Local Validation List consultation

We are consulting on changes to our Local Validation list.

A local 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.

The National Planning Policy Framework sets out that Local Planning Authorities must publish a local validation list for applications and review it frequently. Information on local validation lists is available here: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/making-an-application#Local-information-requirements

We are proposing to update our local list to capture a number of additional documents and reports which are required through policies of the Brent Local Plan and London Plan. Through this consultation, we are seeking comments on the proposed list of validation requirements.

The list is divided into two sections, the national validation requirements and the local validation requirements. The national requirements are set by government and are the same across all Local Planning Authorities in England. The local validation requirements relate specifically to planning applications submitted to Brent Council. The information required will also be dependent on the scale and nature of the proposal. Applications that do not include the information set out within the local or national that is relevant to the application will not be as a valid submission.

This consultation will run for four weeks, from Friday 12 January to Friday 9 February.

Please send all consultation enquires to regen.adminservces@brent.gov.uk

All consultation responses that are received within this period will be considered when evaluating whether to adopt the proposed changes to the local list.
