Householder planning applications must be accompanied by:

Ordnance survey plans for this purpose are available from the Rushcliffe Customer Service Centre for a Ordnance Survey fees. Plans are also available to purchase online at buyaplan.co.uk
For other types of applications, the items above are required, with some exceptions:

- Discharge of Conditions: for householder applications the application form and any associated documents is required
From 31 January 2024 we are using the Local Scheme of Validation as our application requirements. Applications made that do not meet these requirements will not be processed until all of the application requirements are met. See documents below.
If your application is accompanied by correspondence or documentation which contains or includes information of a personal nature or is commercially sensitive or confidential, this should be marked accordingly, e.g. ‘this document contains confidential information’. Ideally, confidential or sensitive information should be submitted as a separate document.
