LOCAL REQUIREMENTS LIST

Adopted on 17 March 2020

Current 1APP document types	When Required (Proportionate approach is taken as to level of detail in each particular case)	Policy References	Where to look for further help	Proposed 1APP Document types and information Requirements
Additional Plans	The national requirements note the need for a location plan and “others as necessary” with a reliance on the local requirements to detail what those are. For the avoidance of doubt the local requirements should confirm what we need (particularly for the local requirement of calculating floorspace): Block plan including site access details Existing and proposed elevations and floorplans in full. Existing and proposed inset elevations where applicable. Existing and proposed site sections and finished floor and site levels (1:50 or 1:100) (in all cases where proposals involve a change in ground levels or is on a sloping site) All plans should have a scale bar, key dimensions (distance of the development from the boundaries of the site and size of the building) original paper size and a north point. Roof Plans (required for all applications involving complex extensions to roof forms and new buildings). For listed building consent applications where windows and doors are to be replaced, details of all new fenestration at a scale of 1:5 section and 1:10 elevation. Elevation plans for all heritage assets should be annotated to clearly describe the proposed materials. Where the drawing disclaimer states “Do not scale,” the disclaimer must continue to read as “unless for planning purposes.”	Local Plan Policies DP2, SP16, SP17, DP34, DP35, DP36 Design Guide National Planning Policy Framework Paragraphs 43 and 44 National Planning Policy Guidance Paragraph 016	NFNPA Website	Mandatory on all relevant applications
