The National Standard Planning Application Form - 1APP
1APP has changed the way you submit planning applications
to Havant Borough Council and every other authority
in England.
From 6th April 2008, the National Standard Planning
Application Form (1APP) has replaced all existing types of
planning application forms in England and is now the only
legal way of submitting a planning application. Whereas before,
Local Planning Authorities (LPAs) produced their own planning
application forms (which often differed and created
inconsistencies in the planning process) now 1APP has been
implemented all the differences in application forms has been
removed by ensuring the same information is required for
comparable applications by every LPA in England. This
standardisation has made the planning system clearer and more
efficient for planning professionals and the general public
alike.
The 1APP forms can now be used for online
submission via the Planning Portal or on the new
1APP
paper forms.
You can learn more about the change to 1APP and how this could
affect you by
visiting the website at the Department of Communities
and Local Government, where the
Guidance for The Validation of Planning Applications (December
2007) can be found.
