1APP Planning Application form
submission
Since 6 April 2008 the National Standard Planning Application
form is the only legal method of submitting a planning and
related application for all types of consent except for Minerals
and Building Control.
What is 1APP?
The National Standard Planning Application Form, or 1APP as it
is known, is the latest step in the Government’s campaign to
streamline the planning system.
To make life easier for applicants the Government is
introducing a single set of standard forms for England. Local
authorities will not be able to amend the forms.
1APP has supersede all existing planning application
forms since 6 April 2008 where it became the only method
of applying for planning permission in England.
The form will provide a consistent format and set of questions
and help to make the process of applying for planning permission
more straightforward for applicants.
The form will be used for most types of planning
applications and will help to deliver greater transparency,
consistency and efficiency in the planning system.
1APP takes in a wide variety of planning consent
procedures, including:
- Householder applications
- Full planning permission
- Outline planning permission, including approval of reserved
matters
- Listed building consent
- Conservation area consent
- Advertisement consent
- Tree works (including trees protected by a TPO and trees in a
conservation area)
- Certificate of lawfulness of existing and proposed use or
development
Building Control and Minerals applications are not included in
the current implementation of 1APP.
The Planning Portal Online Applications
service
There is still the option to complete and submit
paper copies of an application form but there are distinct
advantages to be gained by completing the form online and applying
electronically.
The intelligent nature of the forms should mean it is quicker
and easier for applicants to complete the forms online because they
will only be asked questions which are relevant to their
application.
The online service uses Adobe forms. Plans and
drawings submitted electronically through the Portal have the
measuring facility within pdfs enabled.
The aim is to encourage new ways of working within the
planning service which will support an almost paperless
system.
Development Control Process
Development Control is the process that regulates the
development and use of land. This includes the construction of new
buildings, the extension of existing ones and the change of use of
buildings or land to another use.
Development such as new houses, industrial buildings and shops
is important for sustaining the economic success of the district,
but it is also important that we protect and improve the quality of
the environment, not only in our towns and villages, but also in
our outstanding countryside.
Ryedale District Council has one Area Planning Committee that
meets every four weeks to make
decisions on planning applications and consider
whether to take action against unauthorised development. The
Planning Committee is advised by the Development Control Team:
professional planners who carefully assess proposals against local
and national planning policies.
For Planning Committee dates
and agendas please see our Committee Diary.
Every year the Development Control Team handles some 1,300
planning applications of various types, and investigates between
150 to 200 alleged breaches of planning control.
Although the Planning Committee decides the major applications
and those which attract significant objections, the power to deal
with most minor applications has been given to the
Development Control Manager. For further information on what
applications are delegated please see our
Scheme of Delegation (PDF,
48k).
Ryedale District Council's Development Control Service is
committed to providing an excellent service for all of its users.
Accordingly, the link below to the list of standards sets out what
level of service you can expect when you submit a planning or other
type of application to, or make enquiries of, the Section.

Do I need Planning
Permission?
Ryedale District Council is responsible for deciding whether a
development - anything from an extension on a house to a new
shopping centre - should go ahead in the Ryedale area.
It is your responsibility for seeking planning permission
and permission should be granted before any work begins.
You do not always need planning permission. Generally, it is
not required for changes to the inside of buildings, or for small
alterations to the outside such as the installation of telephone
connections and alarm boxes.
Other small changes, for example putting up walls and fences
(below a certain height) may not require planning
permission.
The most common examples of when you will need to for apply
for planning permission are:
- You want to make additions or extensions to a property.
- You want to divide off part of your home for business or
commercial use.
- You want to build something which goes against the terms of the
original planning permission for your house - for example, putting
up fences in front gardens on an "open plan" estate.
- The work you want to do might obstruct the view of road
users.
- The work would involve a new or wider access to a trunk or
classified road.
If you are unsure whether Planning Permission is required you
can fill in a Development Enquiry Form, there is a fee of
£25. Send it to Development Control, Ryedale District Council,
Ryedale House, Malton, North Yorkshire, YO17 7HH. You will
receive a written response from an Officer.

Design and Access
Statements
Most Planning and Listed Building applications must be
accompanied by a Design & Access Statement (DAS).
Section 327A of the 1990 Act specifies that applications not
accompanied by a DAS shall not be “entertained”. This means
that they shall not be validated.
This is particularly important for Outline applications.
Any design and access considerations that are crucial to the
development must be secured through conditions on the Outline
permission, and/or a planning obligation.
Householder applications are not generally covered by the
requirement to provide a DAS. But where a householder
application lies in a “designated area” (National Park, SSSI,
Conservation Area, AONB, World Heritage Site, The Broads) then a
DAS is required.
For further information please read the following
document
DCLG released a circular in 2006 when the requirements for DAS
came into effect click
here to see this archived document (it takes a few minutes to
open)
If you wish to appeal against a planning decision,
this guide will explain what you have to do. It will also help you
if the council have issued an enforcement notice on land or
buildings which you have a legal interest in, and you want to
appeal against. Appeals are dealt with by the
Planning
Inspectorate.

Biodiversity Information
This guidance provides information on when and how to consider
wildlife as part of a planning application and has been produced by
Ryedale District Council.
Tree Preservations Orders
(TPO)
The Tree and Landscape Officer advises on all arboricultural
matters including Tree Preservation Orders and trees in
Conservation Areas. Advice is also given on landscaping
requirements in connection with planning applications. For further
information see
Forward Planning
Tree Preservation Orders.
Enforcement
If you go ahead with your development without the required
permission, we may ask you to make a retrospective planning
application.
If it is decided that permission should not be granted we
may require you to put things back as they were.
You can appeal but, if the verdict comes out against you and
you still refuse to comply, you may be prosecuted.
