Householder Submission Guide
Purpose of guideThis guide is to help applicants and agents submit a perfect householder application. Within this guide are details of which documents are required to accompany an application, when they are required and what each document is.
However, please note that the submission of a planning application in accordance with this guidance does not guarantee that planning permission will be granted. Each application will be determined on its own merits and in accordance with local and national policies and guidance.
By adhering to this guide it is likely that an application will be registered with the minimum of delay, and can be passed to the planning officer for processing.

Householder Submission Guide
Certificates There are four ownership certificates within the form, Certificate A, B, C or D. One of the ownership certificates must be signed and dated accordingly as required by the Town and Country Planning (Development Management Procedure) Order 2010.
Certificate A - sole ownership
Certificate A should only be completed if the applicant is the sole owner of the land to which the application relates (i.e. the applicant is the freeholder and there are no leaseholders with seven years or more remaining on their leases).
If the application involves a leasehold flat where less than 7 years is remaining on the lease, then certificate A does not apply as the applicant is not the sole owner. Therefore, in this circumstance, the applicant should complete certificate B, C or D (see details below).
Certificate B - shared ownership and agricultural tenants (all other owners / tenants known)
Certificate B should be completed if the applicant is not the sole owner but knows the names and addresses of all the other owners (e.g. this certificate will need to be served if the proposals encroach onto adjoining land).
The Notice to Owners (Notice 1) must also be completed and sent to all known owners.
A copy of the notice must also be submitted with the application.
To download (Notice 1) electronically, go to:

Certificates continued
Certificate C - shared ownership (some other owners / tenants known), including the Agricultural Holdings Certificate.
Certificate C should be completed if the applicant does not own all of the land to which the application relates and does not know the name and addresses of all of the owners.
The Notice to Owners (Notice 1) must be completed and sent to all known owners.
Where the owner is unknown the Notice to Unknown Owners (Notice 2) needs to be published in a local newspaper.
All full planning applications must include the appropriate Agricultural Holdings Certificate to be considered by the local authority.
If the land to which the application relates forms an agricultural holding or part of an agricultural holding, as defined by the Agricultural Holdings Act 1986, and comprises land subject to an Agricultural Tenancy all agricultural tenants must be notified prior to the submission of an application.
If you are the sole tenant of the Agricultural Holding, insert ‘sole tenant - not applicable’ in the table under option (B).
A copy of the notice must also be submitted with the application.
To download (Notice 1 and 2) electronically, go to:

Certificate D - shared ownership (all other owners unknown)
Certificate D should be completed if the applicant does not own all of the land to which the application relates and does not know the names and addresses of any of the owners.

Householder Submission Guide
Location planOne copy of the Location Plan at a scale of 1:2500 or 1:1250 must be submitted. The location plan must identify the application site by way of a red outline and this must be part of the curtilage of the dwelling.
Where the proposals would affect an access to a highway (such as alterations to the access or use of the access for construction vehicles) then the access to the highway must also be outlined in red. Where other land owned by the applicant is close to or adjoins the application site then this should be outlined in blue where relevant to the application. Applications for new windows or re-roofing would not need the other land to be outlined but a two-storey extension which affects neighbouring dwellings in the applicant’s ownership through overlooking or overbearing impacts should by identified by a blue line. Where unsure then please contact the Council via [email protected].

It should accurately show the site boundaries, the type and height of boundary treatment, especially where a change is proposed, and the position of any buildings or structures neighbouring the site, where these could influence or be affected by the proposed development.

Elevations must be submitted at the acceptable metric scale of 1:50 or 1:100, these should also be labelled appropriately to incorporate a scale bar, title, the drawing number and North, East, South or West orientations.

Supporting statement/informationOne copy of a design and access statement will be required if your site lies within a conservation area or a world heritage site. The statement will need to include information on the design, materials and scope of development. The statement should demonstrate how the proposal will fit in with the existing dwelling and materials.

Householder Submission Guide
Supporting documentsPlease see below a list of other documents that may be required depending on development circumstances.
Flood risk assessment
A flood risk assessment may be required if the application site falls within flood zones 2 or 3, is within 20 metres of the top of a bank of a main river, or if the development includes culverting or control of flow of any river or stream. The flood risk assessment must be submitted in accordance with the Environment Agency flood risk standard advice, which can be accessed via their web site: http://www.environment-agency.gov.uk/
Critical drainage
A copy of a critical drainage statement may be required if the application site falls within a critical drainage area, identified by the Environment Agency. The statement will need to demonstrate whether or not the proposal will impact on the existing surface water drainage system and what mitigation will be put in place.
Parking provision
Where a scheme reduces the available parking or turning pace, changes access arrangements or significantly increases the size of a property and therefore has the potential to increase the demand for parking, details should be submitted stating how access will be provided, what arrangements are to be made to ensure that safe access and egress can be achieved and the reasonable parking demands are met within the application site.
Tree survey
Where there are trees within the application site or on land adjacent to it that could influence or be affected by the development (including street trees) an arboricultural report carried out by a specialist will be required, to contain information on which trees are to be retained and how the design and implementation of the scheme makes provision of their protection.
Bat and barn owl survey
If there is a reasonable likelihood that bats or barn owls are nesting at the property, a bat and barn owl survey must be submitted with the application. Bat and barn owl surveys should be carried out by a suitably qualified person, further advice can be obtained from Natural England.
