Consideration was given to a draft version of a Local Validation Checklist relating to the administrative processes undertaken when an application for planning permission is received by the Council, prior to that application being formally registered as valid.  The report also outlined those areas of the Checklist where minor amendments may be required in the future due to changes in, for example, the planning system and/or legislative requirements, and to seek delegated authority for those minor amendments to be made.

RESOLVED:

(a)       that the amended Local Validation Checklist, as shown at Appendix 2 to the report, be approved and adopted for use with effect from 1st May 2012;

(b)       that authority be delegated to the Head of Planning and Regeneration Services to make minor amendments to the Local Validation Checklist in accordance with the terms of, and subject to the limitations set out in Appendix 3 to the report; and

(c)        that Members be informed of any minor amendments made to the Local Validation Checklist under the delegated authority referred to in (b) above.
