We’re asking for your feedback on a draft version of Oldham Council’s Planning Validation Checklist.
This checklist is here to help you understand what information you need to include when applying for planning permission. It makes sure that applications are complete and clear, which helps our planning officers make decisions more quickly. Without it, the process can take longer. Some requirements are set by the government, but we can also include local ones to meet Oldham’s needs and follow planning rules.
The checklist is designed to give applicants clear guidance from the start, helping to avoid delays. Government advice says councils should review their checklists regularly and ask for feedback when making changes. Our draft includes both national requirements and local ones we think are important to properly assess applications.
Have your say
We’d like to hear from anyone who might use the checklist. Please send us your comments between Wednesday30th July 2025 and 5pm on Friday 12th September 2025.
We’ll carefully consider all feedback before finalising the checklist. Once approved, the final version will be published on our website and used to guide future planning applications.
