Mr Richard Parker contacted the Planning Inspectorate regarding feedback given to the developer during non-statutory consultation.

Advice given

The developer began its statutory consultation under s42, 44 & 47 of the Planning Act 2008 (as amended) on 3 September 2013. Mr Parker was advised to continue to contact the developer as the proposal is still at the process, regardless of whether he has fed back to the developer's earlier non statutory consultation.

The application ultimately submitted to the Planning Inspectorate must be accompanied by a Consultation Report prepared under s37 of the Planning Act which includes a summary of relevant responses to the seperate strands of consultation as well as showing the account taken of responses in developing the application from proposed to final form. In the statutory 28 day acceptance period, the submitted consultation report would be assessed by the Planning Inspectorate against the regulations under s55 of the Planning Act 2008.

In an instance where the application is accepted and satisfies the requirements of s55 to proceed to the examination stage, both the consultation report and the Planning Inspectorate's completed s55 checklist would then be made publicly available on the National Infrastructure Planning Portal website.
