Submission of Applications
Applications cannot be registered unless they are accompanied by the correct fee (if appropriate) and correct forms and plans.
Where an application is received without a fee or with an incorrect
fee, the 8-week period for decisions will not begin until the
correct fee is received.
ONCE AN APPLICATION IS REGISTERED, THERE IS NO PROVISION FOR THE
REFUND OF FEES PAID TO LOCAL PLANNING AUTHORITIES IN RESPECT
OF PLANNING APPLICATIONS.
FIVE copies of the necessary forms are required together with FIVE
copies of a plan to a scale of not less than 1:100 (1cm
to 1 metre) showing the proposals clearly and including, where applicable,
elevations of external appearance and plan views.
The plans should also show
the site location to a scale of not less that 1:2500 indicating
the position of the site in relation to the surrounding area. A
separate note giving further advice on plans and drawings is enclosed.
Applications for outline permission will normally only require FIVE
copies of the necessary forms together with FIVE site location
plans, although the Local Planning Authority is empowered to ask for additional
plans necessary in order for them to reach a decision.
PAYMENT OF FEE
Cheques or Postal Orders must be made payable to the Dartford Borough
Council and crossed A/C payee. In the case of cheques for
a value of less than £50.00 applicants should write their cheque card number
on the back.
Credit card payments can not be accepted with applications submitted by post, but we can accept cards at the Civic Centre.
