Many planning forms and supporting documents can be found below.
Design and access statements
A Design and Access Statement is required with planning applications for -
- major development
- development in a Conservation Area
- application for one or more dwellings
- applications for building where the floor space created is 100 square metres or more.
Listed building consent applications must also include a Design and Access Statement and a Heritage Statement.
A Design and Access Statement is a short report accompanying and supporting a planning application. A guide to a Design and Access Statement is available in our downloads.
Validation checklist
Access the validation checklist to make sure you send the right information with your planning application.
Contamination Assessment
We want to encourage the redevelopment of previously used land. This is also known as brownfield land. Because of the risk of contamination with this land, the developer must make sure there is no danger to human health or the environment. Put simply, the land must be suitable for use.
Certain types of applications need a preliminary assessment of land contamination to be completed as part of the validation process. For example, new housing. The validation checklist, available to download above, has more information.
If a preliminary assessment is needed, complete and return the preliminary assessment of land contamination form.
Unilateral Undertakings
Planning applications for new dwellings in Hull are expected to provide -
- open space
- play space
- recycling facilities
On site. Where this is not possible off-site provision can be made, through a legal agreement.
Normally, before any such application can be approved, the completed Legal Agreement must be in place. A Unilateral Planning Obligation template will assist in preparing such an agreement. You are advised to seek legal advice in this matter.
Planning Forms
Various planning forms are available in our downloads.

Notification of a proposed larger Home Extension
In May 2013, legislation was introduced to allow longer single storey rear extensions on houses.
The size limits will double from 4 metres to 8 metres for detached houses, and from 3 metres to 6 metres for all other houses.
These new larger extensions must go through a notification process. For example, if they extend between 4 and 8 metres, or between 3 and 6 metres.
Use the forms here to notify us of this type of proposal.
