Local validation requirements for planning applications

We consulted on an update to Islington’s local validation requirements following the adoption of Islington’s new Local Plan in 2023.  

To apply for planning permission applications must include plans, drawings and other necessary information. The requirements for what needs to be submitted are set out in both National Information Requirements and Local Information Requirements. 

Councils can request information through a list of Local Information Requirements. This is sometimes referred to as ‘local validation requirements’ or the ‘local list’. Each application needs to meet the national and local information requirements relevant to the type and scale of the development proposed. 

Update

We consulted on the new validation requirements in March 2023. We have now published the final requirements at Requirements for valid planning application | Islington Council. You can also find the document in the Documents section on the right hand side of this page.
