Changes to the Planning System
New Planning Application Fees
On 6 April 2008 new planning application fees came into
effect. Included in the change to planning fees is a new fee
for confirmation of compliance with conditions.
The new fee associated with this category is £25.00 (per
request) for applications on or within the curtilage of a dwelling
house or £85.00 (per request) for all other development.
New Requirements for Information Submitted with Planning
Applications
On 6 April 2008 new criteria on the information required to be
submitted with planning applications comes into force. These
are known as 'validation criteria'. The validation
criteria are split into National and Local Requirements and are
designed to provide more information at the start of the
application process.
The new requirements will be used alongside new
national Standard Application Forms (1APP) to validate
applications. Each type of planning application has its own
validation requirements for submission. If you are submitting
an application the requirements for submission by application type
are available from the Planning forms
page.
Scarborough Borough Council consulted on their new
local validation criteria and a report was presented at
Planning and Development Committee on 3 April 2008.
New Planning Application Forms
Scarborough Borough
Council use the new national Standard Planning
Application form which became mandatory on 6 April
2008.
These forms are primarily designed as an electronic form and are
available for the electronic submission of planning applications
online at the Planning
Portal
1APP in its online form will intelligently determine the type(s)
of planning consent needed and combine all relevant questions into
one form. You can create and submit a complete application
online or submit the form online and send any
accompanying documents or drawings by post. Useful tools such as a
fee calculator are
also available from this site.
Old style application forms will still be accepted up
to 5 May 2008 but any applications made after this date
must be on the new forms.
