Changes to Planning Application Forms from 15th July 2008
|
The Department for Communities and Local Government has launched a standard planning application form in England called 1App.
From 6 April 2008, the Standard Planning Application Form (1App) replaced all existing types of planning application forms (except minerals) previously used by local authorities across England.
In addition to the standard planning application form (or 1App), local planning authorities have been encouraged to prepare, consult and adopt their own local list of requirements based on those suggested by government. Babergh has therefore produced its own local validation document to assist applicants with the preparation and submission of applications.

The Local Validation Requirements document was approved for consultation purposes by the Development Committee at its meeting on 9 January 2008. Consultation was undertaken with various national and local bodies, town and parish councils, architects and agents, between 18 January 2008 and 3 March 2008. The document was formally adopted by the Council on 15 April 2008 and comes into effect on 15 July 2008. After this date, it may not be possible to register applications which are not accompanied by the relevant national and local information.
Planning applications can be submitted online through the Planning Portal.
The new 1App forms are now available through the Planning Portal, by downloading from our website, or can be collected from our reception area at the Council Offices, Corks Lane, Hadleigh IP7 6SJ.
Once completed, they can then be delivered to us by hand, email or post.
The new online version of 1App has been designed to make the planning system simpler, faster and easier to use.
For more information about 1App, please see the Planning Portal website.
Please note that planning applications are now being scanned and the images will be published on the Council's website.
