Harrogate Borough Council Validation Criteria for
Planning Applications
VERSION 1.14 – Updated to include revised fee for the Affordable Housing proforma, and link to Development Appraisals for when our affordable
housing thresholds are challenged.
Applications for Planning Permission
This guide has been developed to assist you in the submission of applications (excluding applications for discharge of, variation of or compliance with
conditions, applications for certificates of lawfulness, time extension and non-material amendments). The aim of this guide is to help to make sure
that the right information is submitted with an application to ensure the Council is able to deal with your application as quickly and comprehensively
as possible. This checklist brings together existing information requirements to be submitted alongside a planning application and is not intended to
impose additional requirements on applicants.
Planning applications which are not submitted with the correct information as stated in this document, may be treated as invalid until such time as
the required information has been submitted.
When an application is found to be invalid the Receiving Officer will try to contact the applicant, or agent if there is one, by telephone, and in any
event will send out a letter/email specifying the details required to validate the application.
If after 4 weeks the required information has either not been submitted, or written confirmation received of when it will be submitted, the application
and any associated fee will be returned.
Exceptionally further information may be required for a specific application, over and above the requirements within this document.
A right of appeal for non-determination is where an applicant considers that we require validation particulars or evidence that do not meet the
requirements set out in the Order .
The Order provides that the applicant may send, in response to an invalidity letter or other such communication, an “Article 10A” notice:i)
setting out which particulars or evidence the applicant considers is not a reasonable requirement having regard to the scale and nature of
the development nor are about a matter which it is reasonable to think will be material in the determination of the application.
ii)
Setting out the reasons the applicant relies on in holding that view
Validation Criteria
iii)
Requesting we waive the requirement(s)
We will notify the applicant no later than 8 / 13 weeks following receipt of the application that we no longer require the details (a “validation notice")
or if the details are required a “non-validation notice”).
If the Article 10A Notice is received within 7 working days of the 8/13 week time period or later then we have 7 working days from its receipt to notify
the applicant.
If an application is “non-validated” we are, as with a “validated” one, required to make a determination within the 8/13 week period otherwise the
applicant may proceed to appeal on grounds of non-determination
We strongly encourage you to obtain pre-application advice to assist you in putting together your development proposals.
Scale, Plan Size and Numbers of Documents Required
Numbers of application forms and plans submitted via:
Planning Portal :1
Post: 1 original and 3 copies
All plans must be drawn to an appropriate metric scale.
Floor Plans, Elevations etc.: 1:50, 1:100, 1:200, 1:500
Location Plans: 1:2500, 1:1250
Plans should be A4 or A3 size wherever possible and it would be helpful if coloured three dimensional imagery is provided for at least the main street
elevation for major applications to help schemes to be shown in their context.
Plans must show the direction of North
All information must be clear enough so that the quality of detail is not compromised when scanned and viewed electronically e.g. faint lines are
unacceptable.
Payment of fees can be made through the Council’s website or by calling 01423 500600 and asking for the Development Management Support team.
If paying through the website make note of the receipt number and submit this with your application. Failure to do this may result in a delay in
validating your application.

Validation Criteria
Householder applications can only be used for development within the curtilage of a dwelling house.
Outline applications still require supporting information such as land contamination, DAS, biodiversity, flood risk etc.
Biodiversity pro forma is required even if the answer is no for all boxes.
Vulnerable end uses need information on land contamination.

Harrogate, Knaresborough and Ripon, and sites of
3 dwellings/0.1ha elsewhere, are subject to Saved
Policy H5 of the Harrogate and District Local Plan
as amended 2004, which requires an element of
affordable housing subject to financial viability.
If you wish to challenge the Council’s affordable
housing target on the grounds of financial viability
this should be done prior to submitting a planning
application and to do so you will need to submit a
Development Appraisal. Current affordable
housing targets are 50% on draft green field site
allocations and 40% on all other qualifying sites.
Should a challenge to the Council’s affordable
housing target on the grounds of financial viability
be made, this should be via a financial viability
appraisal. Current affordable housing targets are
50% on allocated green field sites and 40% on all
other qualifying sites.
The charge for examining, negotiating on and

Coal mining referral areas are based on records where the
Coal Authority has determined from records where potential
land stability and other safety risks associated with former
coal mining activities are likely to be greatest.
All new developments in these areas will require a “Coal
Mining Risk Assessment” (CMRA) to be prepared and
submitted with the planning application. The document Risk
Based Approach to Development Management Resources
for Developers is a Coal Authority publication giving detailed
information on the types of development where a “Coal
Mining Risk Assessment” (CMRA) is required, guidance on
what information must be included in a Coal Mining Risk
Assessment Report and how householder applications are
dealt with.
A risk assessment report must contain site specific
information on any past, current and proposed surface and
underground coal mining activity together with other safety
and ground stability information and should be carried out
by a suitably qualified person who is familiar with ground
stability and mining legacy related issues.
