3. Description of Proposed Works
Please describe the proposal accurately and concisely. State the
number of storeys proposed and the position of any extensions.
Example: ‘erection of a single storey rear extension, two-storey
side extension and dormer window to rear’.
4. Site Address Details
Please enter the full postal address of the site. Enter the
house/flat number and / or name (if appropriate) and street name in
the Street address field. The town, county, country and full
postcode should also be entered. If the application relates to open
ground describe its location as clearly as possible (e.g. ‘Land to
rear of 12 to 18 High Street’ or provide a grid reference).
When you submit a location plan, it is recommended that this is
at a scale of 1:1250 or 1:2500 (or larger), showing at least two
named roads and surrounding buildings. The properties shown should
be numbered or named to ensure that the exact location of the
application site is clear.
The application site must be edged clearly with a red line on
the location plan. It should include all land necessary to carry
out the proposed development (eg land required for access to the
site from a public highway, visibility splays (access around a road
junction or access, which should be free from obstruction),
landscaping, car parking and open areas around buildings).
A blue line must be drawn on the plan around any other land
owned by the applicant, close to or adjoining the application
site.
All plans must be to a metric scale and any figured dimensions
given in metres and a scale bar should be included.
5. Pedestrian and Vehicle Access, Roads and Rights of Way
You must indicate on your form whether you propose any new or
altered vehicular or pedestrian access to or from the public
highway, and show the location of these on your plans. Any public
footpath that crosses or adjoins the site or is affected must be
shown clearly on the plans, including any proposals that may
require a closure or diversion.
Legal procedures for diversion or closures must be completed
prior to works commencing on site.
If you are proposing to undertake any works that will affect the
pavement or roadway then it is advisable to seek advice from the
local highways authority.
6. Pre-application Advice
The local authority may be able to offer (possibly for a fee)
pre-application discussions before a formal application is
submitted in order to guide applicants through the process. This
can minimise delays later in processing the application.
Pre-application discussions can also help you and the planning
authority identify areas of concern about your proposed development
so that you can give consideration to amending your proposal before
the application is submitted. The advice and guidance given to you
at the pre-application stage is given in good faith. However, it
does not guarantee or supply a definitive undertaking as to whether
your proposal is likely to be acceptable.
If you have received pre-application advice from the planning
service please indicate the reference/date of any correspondence or
discussion and the name of the officer. If you do not know these
details then please state ‘Unknown’.
This will assist the Council in dealing with your application as
quickly as possible.
7. Trees and Hedges
Please mark on a scaled plan the position of all trees and
hedges on your own property and those on adjoining land which are
within falling distance of the boundary (i.e. the distance from the
boundary to the trees and hedges is less than (or equal to) their
height).
This information will help us consider how your proposal might
affect these trees and hedges. If you know what species the trees
are, please name them. Number the ones that you will need to remove
or prune in order to carry out your proposal.
Please note this is an application for
planning permission. It is not an application or notification to
remove or prune protected trees (i.e. trees which are included in a
tree preservation order or located in a conservation area).
If you are granted full planning permission, you will not need
to obtain separate consent for tree works which are required to
implement the planning permission. However, works to protected
trees which are not required to implement the planning permission
must be the subject of a separate application or notification using
the tree works form.
8. Parking
Please specify the total number of existing parking spaces and
the total number of proposed parking spaces (including spaces
retained) by vehicle type. Please include garage spaces.
If no parking spaces are to be provided you should show on your
plans or describe in a supporting statement where vehicles are to
be parked.
The diagram below shows the minimum size of car parking spaces.
However, further advice and guidance should be sought from your
planning authority.

9. Council Employee / Member
You must declare whether the applicant or agent is a member of
the council’s staff, an elected member of the Council or related to
a member of staff or elected member of the Council.
10. Materials
Please describe the materials you wish to use for walls, roofs,
etc. including the type, colour and name of all materials to be
used. You should try to use materials to blend with existing
buildings.
Additional information may be provided in a design and access
statement or planning supporting statement or shown on drawings and
plans.
If the current site is vacant or is to be demolished then please
indicate ‘existing’ materials as being not applicable.
11. Certificates
If you are the sole owner of the land to which the application
relates please complete Certificate A. (Owner means a person
having a freehold or leasehold interest with at least seven years
unexpired.)
This Certificate is not appropriate unless you are the sole
owner.
If you are not the sole owner of the land or if any part of the
development goes outside land in your ownership (even if only
foundations), please complete Certificate B and serve notice on
each of the owners, using the wording in Notice 1.
If you do not know the names of all of the owners you will need
to complete Certificate C and Notices 1 and 2, or if you cannot
trace any of the owners then Certificate D together with Notice
2.
12. Planning Application Requirements
Please use the checklist to ensure that the forms have been
correctly completed and that all relevant information is submitted.
Failure to complete the form correctly or to supply sufficiently
detailed drawings or other relevant supporting information will
result in your application being returned as invalid.

14. Applicant Contact Details

will assist the Council in dealing with your application as quickly
as possible.
