Local planning application requirements

The local list of Planning Application Requirements for North Somerset was adopted in December 2023 and is set out below in two parts. This will detail what documents you need to submit with your application, depending on what you are applying for. 

Where required information is not submitted, applications would normally be considered as being invalid and no further work will be undertaken until the required information is received.

Part one - supporting documents

Part two – plans and drawings

The Government confirms that further information can be requested after an application has been validated. This is because this local list of planning applications only sets out what information is required for an application to be validly made. It does not set out every piece of information that may be required to ensure a proposal complies with adopted planning policy.
