RSUA seeks views on BCC’s Draft Planning Application Checklist

04/12/2024

Belfast City Council is currently consulting on a Draft Planning Application Validation Checklist. The checklist will assist applicants and planning agents with the information required to be submitted with planning applications – above the current minimum mandatory guidance, which remains unchanged.

The public consultation on the council’s Draft Planning Application Validation Checklist follows legislation, published by the Department for Infrastructure (DfI) on 1 October 2024, that now permits councils to publish a Validation Checklist for planning applications.

The new legislation will come into operation on 1 April 2025.

This public consultation will close on 10 February 2025. To read more, please click here.
