Planning Policy Guidance suggests that it is beneficial to run planning and environmental permitting applications concurrently. Does the IPC have a view in relation to permits outside of a development consent order

Advice given

There is very limited scope to amend a Development Consent Order once it has been submitted for the examination process. The risk to a promoter is that if the process runs concurrently or post development consent application, a development consent order may not allow for matters that may be required by other consents. It is advisable to work with relevant statutory bodies from an early stage on the wording of requirements within a development consent order to reflect issues that may arise from any permitting applications. It will be for the developer to determine when it makes its respective applications.
