Current consultations
Local Validation Requirements for Planning Applications
Mansfield District Council has carried out a review of the local validation requirements for planning applications and would welcome your views. The Council is required to review the list every two years. We last reviewed our requirements in 2022. The proposed changes are predominately as a result of legislative and policy changes.
Please view a copy of the revised Local Validation List,
The Consultation is open for six weeks from 7th June 2024 until 5 p.m. on 19th July 2024.
Please email any comments to: pbc@mansfield.gov.uk or in writing to Planning Department, Civic Centre, Chesterfield Road South, Mansfield NG19 7BH
If you have any accessibility problems with the document, please call: 01623 463201
After the consultation period, Mansfield District Council will consider all the comments received and amend the Local Validation List as appropriate. Once approved this will form the basis on which planning applications are deemed valid by the Council.
Please note, although it will not be possible to respond to specific comments, all comments will be recorded and fed into the consultation process.

Statement of Community Involvement (SCI)
It is important that we engage with the community throughout the preparation of the Local Plan and other planning policy documents. In doing this we need to ensure we follow the council's Statement of Community Involvement (SCI) 2022 (opens in new window) and the regulations governing the development plan process.
We are required by legislation to produce a Statement of Community Involvement (SCI) every five years.
