Validation Requirements - Local List 2011
The Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea have produced a
comprehensive list of the possible requirements we may have in
order to process a planning application. Some of the
requirements are national ones defined by Statutory Instruments and
some of them are requirements the Royal Borough may have in order
to deem your application valid and determine your application.
Each requirement is laid out within a table providing you
with a brief summary of what information is required, which
applications require this information, the policy driver behind the
requirement and where to look for further information. Each
requirement is then explained in more detail within the
accompanying Appendix – Validation Requirements 2011 –
Explanatory Guidance.
The list has been updated in accordance with government
requirements. The new list has been prepared in accordance with the
adopted Core Strategy and to take into consideration the
requirements of Supplementary Planning Documents that have been
adopted since the previous local list was prepared.
These documents were the subject of public consultation during
November and December 2010. We received a number of responses to
the consultation and the comments received were taken into
consideration prior to publicising the final version of the local
validation list. The requirements contained
within the Local Validation List 2011 will become effective for all
applications submitted on or after Tuesday 4 January 2011. If your
application was submitted before Tuesday 4 January 2011 but remains
invalid beyond this date, you will be required to comply with the
new validation list.
If you would like a paper copy of the local validation list 2011
and the explanatory guidance, please email planning@rbkc.gov.uk or
telephone PlanningLine on 020 7361 3012
The information within the local validation list has been
prepared having regard to Communities and Local Government
‘Guidance on information requirements and validation’ and
‘Development Management Policy Annex: Information requirements and
validation for planning applications’ both of March 2010.
To assist applicants in understanding our requirements, we have
prepared a general guidance note that should be read in conjunction
with the local validation list. In addition, we are preparing
detailed webpages that provide applicants with specific information
for particular types of development. This information can be
accessed from the links below.
