This Planning Application Local Validation Requirements list has been developed by Knowsley Council to establish a procedure for determining whether submitted planning applications (made under the Town and Country Planning Acts) adhere to the required level of supporting information for us to make informed decisions. If an application meets the necessary information requirements upon receipt, it is deemed "valid" and can proceed towards a decision.
The local validation list aims to
- assist in ensuring that your application is valid when submitted;
- ensure that all applications can be dealt with effectively and efficiently;
- respond positively to best practice advice issued by government; and,
- ensure that Knowsley Council complies with legislation in relation to planning applications.
Health Impact Assessment
Knowsley Council is committed to health promoting environments through the Local Plan and the planning application process. Therefore, health impact assessments are required to be submitted on developments of a certain size (consult the validation checklist for specific requirements). Knowsley Council have designed a HIA template for use by developers to help frame the Knowsley context, guaranteeing plans are submitted that reflect Knowsley Council’s overarching priorities and ensuring all relevant concerns have been considered. It is suggested that this template, along with the explanation document, are used in relevant applications (including pre-applications where appropriate).
It is recommended to utilise this template along with the accompanying explanation document in relevant applications, including pre-applications when applicable.
