Planning Application Forms (1APP)
The Dartmoor National Park Authority has now adopted the standard national planning application forms under the 1APP scheme. Applicants and agents are therefore requested to start using the new forms at the earliest opportunity.
It is a statutory requirement for all planning authorities to only accept 1APP standard forms from 6 April 2008. After this date, applications received on old application forms will be deemed invalid.
These forms are available to download and print below (to be completed offline). Alternatively online versions of the forms can be completed and submitted via the Planning Portal website (external link, opens in new window).
Application Forms
There are various application forms available depending on the type of permission you are seeking. 1APP provides forms that allow you to apply for more than one consent on a single form, for example full planning permission with listed building consent.
Please click on the links to download. All documents are in PDF format. Guidance notes for each of the forms can be found below.
Validation
The Authority is about to commence a consultation on the ‘local requirements’ that will be necessary for an application to be considered valid. Until this process has been completed, the National Requirements for an application will remain as the basis for a submission to be valid. Please also refer to the available advice notes.
