That the new pre-validation checking arrangements and associated charging Scheme be approved.

A report was submitted to Cabinet advising Members of a new optional pre-validation checking service for Planning applications which would help to speed up the process.  The service would be chargeable.

Councillor Northcott introduced the report advising Members that the process would give equality and cut down on the overall time in deciding applications.

The Leader added that the process would also help with the recovery process after lockdown in getting things moving again.

Resolved:     That the new pre-validation checking arrangements and

                        associated charging Scheme be approved.
