There is a growing expectation that the development control service will consider a wider range of issues and consult with an increasingly interested community with more efficiency and effectiveness. At the same time, planning authorities are expected be able to offer greater certainty to developers about what might be expected of them when they submit applications and to be able to deliver decisions on time.
The purpose of this checklist is to provide clear guidance on the form and content of information required for the submission of planning applications. By providing checklists on the scope and extent of the information required, applicants should have a greater certainty of their responsibilities and the public and decision makers will be better informed about the development proposals therefore leading to a more open, accessible and efficient service.
The Part One Checklist sets out the mandatory information requirements by different planning application types.
The Part Two Checklist sets out the additional information that Doncaster Council will require from applicants. This is arranged by information type, thresholds for its requirement and a general explanation of the issues that will need to be addressed. Where appropriate, each section is cross-referenced to link to further helpful guidance.
Part Three Checklists will be prepared for various other application types (e.g. householder, listed building consent, consent to display advertisements etc) and will summarise the requirements of Checklists One and Two for the identified type. These will be added to the checklist when prepared.
