Dfl proposes Planning Application Validation Checklists

The Department for Infrastructure (DfI) has launched a consultation on Planning Application Validation Checklists.

DfI is proposing to provide planning authorities with the power to prepare and publish information checklists against which, those submitting new planning applications will have to adhere before an application will be accepted as being ‘valid’.  

This consultation forms part of the Department’s Planning Improvement Programme aimed at creating an efficient, effective and equitable planning system trusted to deliver high-quality, sustainable, inclusive, and healthy places.
