The documents involved in submitting planning applications are known as the Validation Guide. The guide is designed to help people submit planning applications by streamlining the process and ensuring the right documents are submitted from the outset to cut the need for resubmissions.

Cllr Adam Zerny, leader of Central Bedfordshire Council, said: “Submitting a planning application can be a minefield for residents, so we’re eager to make some changes to speed up the process and save public money. We want to hear what the people have to say.”
