Dorset County Council - Planning application forms

We are now using the new online 1APP planning application forms for applications relating to waste developments, county council developments, variation of conditions (section 73 applications) and for certificates for lawful developments. 

The Local List - Validation of planning applications

The Local List (word, 846kb) (opens in a new window)  relates to Waste planning applications and County Development applications, such as works to Local Authority premises, schools, highway-related work and development on county farms.

The document sets out both the statutory and local information requirements to enable the authority to validate an application. It also provides guidance on the information requirements and encourages engagement in pre application discussions.  The following attached document sets out the process for initiating pre-application discussions - Pre-application Advice (pdf, 39kb) (opens in a new window)

National planning portal

All the above types of application can be submitted using the online 1APP application forms via the National Planning Portal website (opens in a new window) . The Planning Portal website explains how to complete and submit an application and also allows you to print off a copy for your own records.
