Planning application number = validated?

[Moonshine]

I have been given a planning reference number via phone for my application 19/XXXX/FUL (X's for privacy). Now that it has a application number does that mean than my application has been validated and the determination period has started (e.g the targeted 8 weeks)?

 

PP seems to imply that it has;

I haven't had any written communication and can't find the application on the LPA's website (it was uploaded on PP).

It just means it's "in the system" you can still have a reference number for an application that isn't valid, they may ask for more information before they validate the application

 

cheers, I was half wondering if that was the case.

I had exactly the same last week, it took about 5 days to be "validated" the date used for application was the date it was sent, not the day the LP validated it...

Just in case someone comes across this post looking for information on validation and submission dates.

 

One thing that i had not realised, is that the date that you submitted on, gets retrospectively used as the validation date, assuming you have submitted all the required information for validation on that date.

 

If you have the submitted all the required information, the determination period starts (e.g the targeted 8 weeks) from the date you submitted, irrespective of the date the pack of information submitted is deemed to meet the requirements by the LPA.
