Planning Portal - choosing your planning application (opens new window)

Once you know what type of application you're making, you should check what information you need to give us. This information is split into two groups:

• National requirements

You can see all the national requirements on the Planning Portal (opens new window).

• Local requirements

To see what our local requirements are, you need to check our Local Validation List. The Local Validation List was last updated and reviewed on 7 July 2021. Some application types (such as Discharge of Conditions) do not have local requirements. 

If you want to build a new development, you'll also need to check the local drainage requirements.
