The applicant submits to the Docklands Authority the Section 25 Planning Application Form and accompanying documentation following the Section 25 Guidance Notes provided. The application is then assigned a provisional registration reference number (a DD number). The applicant must then erect a written site notice displaying the DD registration number prominently. Please see "Site Notice Checklist" (a list of what needs to be included in a Section 25 Site Notice) A copy of the site notice accompanied by a Declaration of Site Notice and other photographic documentation must be submitted to the Docklands Authority within 5 working days of the erection of the site notice. Please note a new procedure has now been added for dealing with Deliberate, Vexatious or Accidental Removal of a Site Notice as part of a Section 25 planning application with effect from Monday 8th June 2009.
