Further to a 6-week consultation in late 2023 regarding proposed Local Validation Lists for planning applications, the Central Lincolnshire authorities of City of Lincoln, North Kesteven and West Lindsey have reviewed the comments received, and in response, prepared a report which sets out how this has been used to shape the adoption of our Local Lists.
This Local Validation Checklist and Summary of Consultation Responses report [pdf / 308 KB] is available to view and download.
Thank you to those who responded to this consultation.
City of Lincoln, North Kesteven and West Lindsey have worked jointly to develop Local Validation Lists following the adoption of the 2023 Central Lincolnshire Local Plan to ensure a consistent approach is applied, linking directly with the requirements set out in the adopted Local Plan.
The Local Validation Lists will be used to ensure that the necessary information is provided at the point of planning applications being submitted, and to prevent any delays in validation.
The adopted local lists for all three authorities was scheduled to come into effect on Monday 20 May 2024. However, due to technical issues experienced with updating our systems, implementation of the local validation requirements for West Lindsey District Council was delayed until 1 July 2024.
