Enquiry type
Phone

Inquired why Tunbridge Wells Borough Council is being invited to make representations on the consultation undertaken for the Kentish Flats Extension.

Advice given

The IPC invites all s42b local authority consultees of a proposed development, to submit an ?adequacy of consultation representation? which the IPC must have regard to in deciding whether or not to accept an application (s55 (4)(b) PA 2008). This ?adequacy of consultation representation? means a representation about whether the developer has complied, in relation to the proposed application, with its duties under sections 42, 47 and 48 of PA 2008 relating to consultation and publicity.

A local authority is within s42b if the land to which the application relates is within the authority's area or the authority shares a boundary with a local authority in whose area the application is proposed.
