Design and access statement
- Design and access statements are required for major developments, listed building consent applications and certain developments in conservation areas
Block plans

Planning application fees
Validation dispute
Validation dispute is a procedure by which an applicant can appeal against non-determination of an application after the statutory time period has passed and no formal validation has taken place.
This means that we cannot make a developer provide information because it is on a local validation list. Applicants , can challenge the need to provide information requested on a local list if they consider the request does not meet the National Planning Policy Framework and planning law.
Community Infrastructure Levy
Planning applications containing additional proposed floorspace of over 100 square metres determined after 1 November 2012 may be liable to Community Infrastructure Levy charges.
