Have your say on the future of local councils in Surrey

Take part in a landmark Government consultation on proposals to replace Surrey's current councils with up to three larger authorities. We support a three unitary approach - Find out more and read our consultation question guide.

Join us for a special online engagement session hosted by the Leaders of Guildford and Waverley Borough Councils on Thursday 3 July from 7pm to 8pm via Microsoft Teams. We'll explain what Local Government Reorganisation is, outline the different options being considered, and show you how to get involved. Sign up for the session (opens new window).

The Local Validation List

The Local Validation List was last updated and reviewed on 7 July 2021. Some application types (such as Discharge of Conditions) do not have local requirements.

What is the Local Validation List? 

Every type of planning application needs to include particular details about the project. You need to give different details for each application type.

Select your application type below to see which details we need.

If your application is not listed, there are no local requirements. Instead, you only need to submit the information listed on the Planning Portal (opens new window).

We recommend you submit and pay for all applications on the Planning Portal (opens new window). If you do not want to use the Planning Portal, you will need to complete an online payment form on our website. 

To build a new development, you'll also need to check the local drainage requirements.
