When making a planning application you must complete a Certificate, which provides details of the ownership of the site. The certificate you complete should relate to all the land you have included in the application site by outlining the site in red and this should contain all the works and changes covered by the application.
The Certificates of Ownership are normally included on the standard application forms. However, you can download copies of the certificates separately if required from the links at the bottom of this page.
If the applicant is the sole owner of all the land to which the application relates and no part of it is an agricultural tenancy:
- You should complete Certificate A. ("Owner" means a person having a freehold interest or a leasehold interest with at least seven years unexpired).
If the applicant is not the sole owner of the application site, or part or all the land is an agricultural holding, and you know the names of all owners and tenants:
You can download Certificate B and Article 6 Notices from the links at the bottom of this page. Note that there is a separate Article 6 Notice for 'Householder' development.
If you do not know the name and address of all the owners of the application site:
- You will need to complete either Certificate C or D, and publicise the application in the Leicester Mercury. Copies of these Certificates in PDF format can be downloaded from the links at the bottom of this page. You can contact Planning for advice on these procedures.
Note that it can be an offence to complete an ownership Certificate incorrectly.
