Planning application supporting information
You may need to submit extra information with your planning application. This is known as validation criteria. If you do not submit all the correct information with your application it may take longer for you to get permission.
You will need to check the list of requirements for the type of project you are doing. Details on what to submit for a householder application are available from the planning portal. Our requirements are available in the householder validation checklist.
You must submit plans that:
- are Ordnance Survey based, at a scale of 1:1250 or 1:2500 up-to-date, with north marked and must cover a large enough area to enable the location to be easily found
- have a red outline around the boundary of your house including any garden
- have a blue outline around any other land you own (that is not your house or garden)
There is a checklist available for full planning applications.

For some adverts you will need to get consent. The validation checklist tells you what additional information you will need to include with your application.
