Mr Baggs requested the telephone conversation and discussed a request from the GLA and some London Boroughs for an extension to their second phase of pre application consultation. He was concerned about the resource implications and the effect on the project timetable.

Advice given

Provided s51 advice on the matters a Commissioner/Inspector dealing with acceptance would take into account, including the degree to which the SOCC was agreed and delivered; whether the consultation exercise itself was ?satisfactory?, as required by the Planning Act 2008, and whether, in all circumstances, the request for an extension was reasonable. Details of consultation and the merits of the application were not discussed.
