Householder development application checklists

Submission checklists for applications relating to the alteration or extension to an existing and completed dwellinghouse or flat, or the carrying out of any works (including buildings) within the garden ground.

Please note that if your proposed works involve more than one of the types of development listed below (for example, extension to dwellinghouse and installation of a flue) you must ensure that you have submitted the information relevant to each type of development with your application.

All plans should be titled, include the site address, have a drawing number and revision number where applicable.

Please ensure that all 'Do Not Scale' disclaimers that may be on your plans or drawings are removed or reworded e.g. 'scale for planning purposes only' or 'do not scale for construction purposes'.  You should be aware that we may need to scale from your drawings if the accuracy of the development is questioned after completion.  We will expect the development to be carried out in accordance with the approved planning drawings.

Due to copyright laws, if the drawings or plans you plan to submit have been drawn by an agent who is not going to act on your behalf as part of the planning application process, you should provide written confirmation from them confirming that you have permission to use the drawings for this application. 

Please note that you may also require listed building consent, conservation area consent, a building warrant and/or vehicular access consent (VA1). Your development may also be subject to developer contributions
