Consultation: Local validation checklist
Introduction
Dartmoor National Park Authority is reviewing the Local Planning Application Validation Checklist and would like your views.
The checklist sets out the information required when submitting a planning application to Dartmoor National Park Authority. Ensuring this information is clear and up to date helps applicants and agents, and helps the Authority process applications more efficiently.
We’ve made a number of updates to reflect current guidance and improve clarity. We hope the revised checklist is clear and easy to use.
We are also proposing to add new requirements for certain developments:
- A Carbon Reduction Statement
- Energy Efficiency Report
- An Accessible and Adaptable Dwellings Statement
The consultation runs until from 14 July until 25 August 2025.
We welcome comments from anyone with an interest in the planning process, especially applicants, agents, developers, community groups, and local residents.
