We have not discussed Planning Authority "Validation Requirements" on ebuild or Buildhub, and it is one step in the Planning process that can delay a PA or trip us up. Validation Requirements are things a Planning Authority requires before they will accept that a Planning Application is fit to be processed, and have recently become more extensive. There are national and local requirements, and they can onerous, and sometimes spurious. Councils may now have a "Validation Requirements" checklist. The one for my own Planning Authority is a bundle of checklists for different types of Application, and is 42 pages long - the answer to Life, the Universe etc. One thing that may be affected is the start of the period for public comments; another is the end date by which the PA is required to have decided on your Planning Application. A couple of decades ago a Planning Application would just be "Registered", and further information requested. Now that we have a target culture in local government, there is a temptation to make sure that the PA has been Validated in detail as that extends the end date and makes the target easier to achieve. I have attached a copy of my own LPA's Validation Checklist for Full Planning Applications as a (slightly misformatted) PDF.
