The Council's adequacy of consultation representation included commentary about the merits of the proposed scheme.

Advice given

By means of clarification, the request sent by the Planning Inspectorate to local authorities sought responses in respect only of the applicant’s duties under sections 42, 47 and 48 of the Planning Act 2008 (re. the adequacy of the applicant’s pre-application consultation).

Your letter comprises commentary about the merits of the scheme in the context of impacts on the Council’s interests. Please note that at this stage of the process we are unable to take any such commentary into account.

If the application is accepted to proceed to be examined by the Planning Inspectorate, the applicant will be required to serve notice to you in respect of that decision. The notice will include details about how and when interested parties will be able to make relevant representations about the merits of the scheme. I would advise for the Council to resubmit its comments about traffic impacts on the road network at this stage. The Council may also wish to contact the developer directly for associated discussion.
