Public Consultation - Planning Application Validation Checklist
**The consultation period has now closed and all responses received will now be considered in finalising the Checklist**
Public Consultation - 27 January to 24 April 2025.
Why are we consulting?
On 01 October 2024, the Department for Infrastructure (DfI) made a Statutory Rule, The Planning (General Development Procedure) (Amendment) Order (Northern Ireland) 2024, which enables councils to publish a Planning Application Validation Checklist. The legislation comes into operation on 01 April 2025 providing councils with time to prepare and consult upon their proposed statutory validation checklists.
What is a Planning Application Validation Checklist?
The Planning Application Validation Checklist sets out the information, plans or evidence which must be submitted with your planning application to make it a ‘valid’ application and enable it to be processed.
The new legislation which comes into operation on 01 April 2025 enables councils to increase the information required to be submitted to make an application ‘valid’.
