Huntingdonshire District Council has adopted new national standard application forms for planning matters. Currently all local authorities have their own forms so the information contained within them, or requested from applicants may differ from area to area.

Under the new scheme – a government-led project – called 1 APP there is a new standard application form, and new information requirements. The aim is to make the planning system clearer and more efficient for planning professionals and the public, and to save applicants time and effort in completing their applications.

The new forms were introduced on Monday 3 March, and can be submitted online via the Planning Portal and can also be viewed and downloaded using the link on the right.
