The following Local Validation Lists will be used to ensure that the necessary information is provided at the point of planning applications being submitted, and to prevent any delays in validation.
The adopted local lists for all three authorities will come into effect Monday 20 May 2024 at which point these requirements will form part of the validation process.

This document has been produced to help guide developers and decision makers on the implementation of policy S54 Health and Wellbeing in the Central Lincolnshire Local Plan. This is new guidance, and we are therefore keen to learn from users about what is good, bad, unclear or missing from the guidance. We anticipate updating the guidance, learning from experience, as and when appropriate to do so. To be clear, it is guidance not policy. The policy for decision making remains that as set out in the Central Lincolnshire Local Plan, April 2023.
