We have carried out a review and made revisions to update references to the recently adopted Spelthorne Local Plan and Design Code.
The consultation period for the Local List of Requirements (June 2026) will run for four weeks, from 11 June 2026 to 9 July 2026. If you have any comments, please submit them to: planningdm@spelthorne.gov.uk.
As part of the drive to provide a quicker, more predictable and efficient planning service, the Government has introduced a new standard application form for applications for planning permission made under the Town and County Planning system.
Alongside this and to support the use of this standard application form, the Government has introduced new information requirements for the validation of planning applications by local planning authorities.
The new application forms include establishing a core and mandatory national list of information required for a valid application along with an additional list of local mandatory requirements based on national and local policy requirements.
Different types and scale of applications will require different levels of information and supporting documentation to be submitted. The combined use of the national and local lists affords both the Council and applicant more certainty when submitting applications and ensures that the information requested is proportionate to the type and scale of the application being made.
Please ensure that any documents submitted which contain sensitive information are clearly separated and marked as confidential. Any photographs submitted should have personal details redacted.
