                  insert businessDocument;
                  insert idDocument;
              }catch(DMLException e)
              {
                  ApexPages.addMessage(new   ApexPages.message(ApexPages.severity.ERROR,'Error uploading attachment'));
                      return null;
              }
          }
          pgRef = new PageReference('http://thank.you/');
          pgRef.setRedirect(true);
          return pgRef;
      }   
      return null;
  }    
}

How can I fix it? Thank you in advance for the suggestions and assistance...

You can't directly refer the field . You need to add leadDetail before field name

<apex:pageblocksection title="MAIN CONTACT DETAILS: INDIVIDUAL CONNECTED WITH THIS APPLICATION" collapsible="false"  >
                <apex:inputTextArea value="{!leadDetail.Customer_Name__c}" required="true" html-placeholder="Customer Name:"/>
                <apex:inputTextArea value="{!leadDetail.Licence_c}" required="true" html-placeholder="Licences - if any:"/>      
                <apex:inputTextArea value="{!leadDetail.Email_c}" required="true" html-placeholder="Email"/>
                <apex:inputTextArea value="{!leadDetail.Surname_and_First_Name__c}" required="true" html-placeholder="Surname and Name"/>
                <apex:inputTextArea value="{!leadDetail.Job_Title__c}" required="true" html-placeholder="Job Title"/>           
                <apex:inputTextArea value="{!leadDetail.Telephone_Number__c}" required="true" html-placeholder="Telephone Number"/> 
            </apex:pageblocksection>
            <apex:pageblocksection >
                <apex:inputTextArea value="{!leadDetail.Business_Profile__c}" required="true" html-placeholder="Business Profile:"/> 
            </apex:pageblocksection>
