Other consents and permissions application checklists

Submission checklists relating to applications for all other planning permissions and consents

All plans should be titled, include the site address, have a drawing number and revision number where applicable.

Please ensure that all 'Do Not Scale' disclaimers that may be on your plans or drawings are removed or reworded e.g. 'scale for planning purposes only' or 'do not scale for construction purposes'.  You should be aware that we may need to scale from your drawings if the accuracy of the development is questioned after completion.  We will expect the development to be carried out in accordance with the approved planning drawings.

Due to copyright laws, if the drawings or plans you plan to submit have been drawn by an agent who is not going to act on your behalf as part of the planning application process, you should provide written confirmation from them confirming that you have permission to use the drawings for this application. 

Please note that you may also require listed building consent, conservation area consent, a building warrant and/or vehicular access consent (VA1). Your development may also be subject to developer contributions

Tree works

Document or DrawingDescription
Application FormA tree works application should be completed online on the e-planning website.
Site Plan

At a suggested scaled of 1:200 or 1:500, a site plan needs to show the precise location of the affected trees in relation to nearby properties, roads and boundaries.

This plan must show:

  • The trees that are to be affected by the works, cross- referenced to the application form and descriptions, and tree survey report (if applicable)
  • Any tree preservation orders and their respective number
  • The position of the nearest buildings, and their names or numbers, and their approximate distance from the trees.
  • The named surrounding roads
  • Any relevant features on the site, for example, a greenhouse or paths

If there are many trees on the site, the plan must show:

  • All trees but only numbering those affected by works
  • The approximate distance between the trees and any buildings
  • Any relevant features on the site

If it is impossible to identify the individual trees accurately on the plan (for example, because they are part of a woodland or group of trees), please identify their approximate location on the plan and provide details of the how trees are marked on the site (for example, with high-visibility tape, tree tags, paint and so on). Do not mark trees by scarring or cutting into the bark.

Additional InformationIf your proposal involves the felling of a tree please provide justification for its felling. This can be in the form of a tree survey report from either a trained or professional arborist or tree surgeon.
