Requesting advice regarding the correct procedures that LBC should be following for this stage of the the process where the Planning Inspectorate is requesting an ?adequacy of consultation representation? about whether LBC (as 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.

Advice given

Thank you for your email requesting advice regarding the correct procedures that your council should be following for this stage of the pre-application process where we have formally written to you requesting an?adequacy of consultation representation? about whether LBC (as 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.

In your email you state that such consultations to the Local Authority would generally be directed to the Council's Chief Executive, rather than the Local Planning Authority. Therefore, I would be grateful if you could urgently confirm the name, physical address and email address for the officer to whom the request for an adequacy of consultation representation (under section 55(5) of the Planning Act 2008) should be sent.
