Agenda item

E.68/17          

Members were presented with a report that sought approval of the revised Local Validation List for planning applications, following a review that had been undertaken.  The National Planning Policy Framework set out that local authorities should publish a list of their information requirements for planning applications.

The Lead Member for Customer First introduced the report.  In so doing, he asked that an additional recommendation be added that gave delegated authority for minor amendments to be made.  The CoP Lead Development Management responded to questions and confirmed that the revised list was clearer, and enabled officers to be more robust in the level of information required.

It was then:

RESOLVED that:

a)      The revised local validation list be approved; and

b)      Authority be delegated to the CoP Lead Development Management in consultation with the Lead Member for Customer First to make minor amendments to the document prior to its publication.
