Local validation checklist consultation

Overview

Somerset Council is consulting on the proposed local validation checklist found below.

The key purpose of the document will be to improve the quality / completeness of planning applications made to the Council so that:

• The Council spends less time (and resource) validating applications and chasing for missing information etc
• Applicants / developers / investors receive a better service as we start processing their applications sooner
• Stakeholders including parish and town councils get consulted on higher quality / more complete submissions and so the proposals they are being consulted on should be clearer

Once adopted, following this consultation, the Validation List will be in operation for two years before it needs reviewing again.
