Planning Applications- Application Validation Checklist (AVC)

Overview

As a Local Planning Authority (LPA), Stockport Metropolitan Borough Council must publish a local list of information requirements for submitted planning applications, in addition to the national mandatory information requirements specified in the Town and Country Planning (Development Management Procedure) (England) Order 2015 (as amended). This is to provide clarity to applicants on what information should accompany their applications.

The LPA previously published the approved “Planning Application Validation Checklist (AVC)” in September 2014, following consultation and consideration of responses.

The Planning Application Validation Checklist (AVC) is due for review. We are seeking views on the proposed changes to Planning Application Checklist (AVC). Following this consultation, the documents will be amended (if required) and adopted for use. Any consultation responses received will be taken into account when preparing the final validation list.

This consultation is open for 6 weeks until Wednesday 17th April 2019
