Request reassurance that three copies of plans will not be required for acceptance giving large number of drawings produced.

Advice given

I am putting in writing our reassurance over the submission of plans for the NNDR.

The relevant requirement is set out in the Infrastructure Planning (Applications: Prescribed Forms and Procedure) Regulations 2009 5(2)r: "If requested by the Secretary of State, three paper copies of the application form and other supporting documents and plans."

On behalf of the Planning Inspectorate for the Secretary of State, we request three paper copies of the application form and other supporting documents, not including plans. We only request one copy of the plans for acceptance purposes, but will request further copies if the application proceeds to examination.

This departure from our normal requirements described in Advice Note Six is because of the anticipated high volume of plans to be provided by the applicant.

This advice given under section 51 will be published on the Planning Portal website.
