What Else is Required?

If it is known that you will require any of the following additional information, then we would advise that this is submitted at the point of validation/registration.  You may be asked to submit additional information at a later date by the case officer.  Failure to submit within 28 days of a request could result in an application being recommended for refusal.  If any of the requirements below apply to your proposal please contact the relevant department or external body listed.

If your application is required to be advertised for neighbour notification purposes or as a departure a fee of £122.00 will also be required.  We will advise you of this when your application is submitted and should be paid within 14 days of the request being made.
