Dear Mr Dootson

The Planning Support team are instructed to check basic points on receipt
of an application e.g. Has a land ownership certificate been provided, is
there a location plan to a scale of 1:1250 or 1:2500, does the location
plan show the application site edged red, etc. This guidance is contained
within the Validation Checklist that is on our website. No further
checklist is completed.

Should you require any further detail on this matter, could you please
contact the Business Support team directly on 01257 515346, as your last
question is not a request for recorded information, but a question on
procedure, and as such falls outside of the scope of the FOI Act 2000.

I hope the information provided here answers your enquiry. If however,
you are unhappy with the outcome, or the way in which Chorley Council has
handled your request, you may wish to make an appeal. This can be done in
