NATIONAL CRITERIA  \n5.  LOCAL CRITERIA  \n1. Introduction  \nThis document has been produced to help users of Sefton Borough Council’s Planning Service when submitting applications for planning permission or other similar consents.  \nAs part of the drive to provide a quicker, more predictable and efficient planning service, the Government introduced new information requirements for the validation of planning applications by Local Planning Authorities in 2007.  \nThere are two elements to the new validation requirements:  \n􀀃 A national list of mandatory information that must be submitted with every planning application; and  \n􀀃 A local list of additional information that will be required when making an application to Sefton Borough Council  \nThe Local List clearly sets out the information requirements for different types of planning applications within Sefton and includes:  \n􀀃 When/why information is needed;  \n􀀃 What sort of information is required; and  \n􀀃 Where to get further guidance.  \nThe local list formalises the submission of information that is required before applications can be registered. Consequently, everyone involved in the planning application process will enjoy greater certainty and consistency as to what information is required to accompany different applications, whilst avoiding inappropriate delays in the validation process. The level of information needs to be proportionate to the size and type of application and the local list requires only information that is essential to the consideration of the application. Further information may be requested by the Council during the consideration of the application to address site specific requirements or issues that mayarise following registration. This latest review of the Local Validation List reflects recent national and local planning policy and guidance.  \nValidation  \nIt is essential to refer to both the national and local lists of requirements before formally submitting a planning application. If an application is submitted that does not meet both the national and local requirements then we will be able to state that the application is invalid and refuse to determine it. Applicants are therefore strongly encouraged to discuss the list of requirements with us before submitting an application. Where an application is invalid, we will write to explain what information is needed and indicate a period within which it must be provided. To avoid any delay, it is in the interests of applicants to ensure all the relevant information is provided at submission.  \n [BACK TO CONTENTS PAGE]  \nPre-Application Service  \nDiscussions prior to the submission of an application are an important stage in ensuring that they are complete in terms of their information requirements. Advice at this stage of the process can be sought from the Local Planning Authority through the Pre-Application Service.
