It depends what kind of application you mean. Coventry’s records show different document requirements for different services, and for planning applications the council expects the right forms, plans and certificates to be included.
| Application type | Documents needed |
|---|---|
| General applications/forms | Coventry has a list of application forms available online: application forms |
| Work-related learning applications | Primary Application Form or Secondary Application Form, plus an Application Response Form where relevant |
| Work-related learning updates/changes | Change of Day Form, Attendance Meeting Form, Behaviour Meeting Form, Safeguarding Meeting Form, Pre-Delivery Compliance Declaration Form, Pre-Delivery Compliance Submission Systems User Form, Half-termly Quality Confirmation, Share DBS details, Withdrawal Form |
| Marriage / civil partnership notice | Decree Absolute with court stamp if divorced; original court order if a previous civil partnership was dissolved; late spouse’s death certificate if widowed; Change of Name Deed or Statutory Declaration; Completed Consent Form if one of you is under 18 |
| Planning application | Correct information and plans, the right certificates, and the council’s validation checklist is used to check what’s needed |
| Planning supporting documents | Most planning applications need a location plan and a site plan (block plan); larger householder extensions also need a written description, a site plan showing the development, adjoining premises addresses, developer contact address, and email address if provided |
| Disabled Facilities Grant | Evidence of income and benefits, including pay slips, pensions, disability benefits, and evidence of capital and savings |
If you mean a planning application, Coventry is clear that missing information can make the submission invalid, so it’s worth checking the validation checklist and supporting information before you send anything in.
