Caller asked for an overview of the development consent application process and the opportunities for public involvement
Advice given
Developers are required to consult local people in the vicinity of proposals at the pre-application stage. If an application is accepted for examination, this fact and a deadline for registering an interest in the application will be publicised in the local and national press. Persons who register before the deadline will be entitled to make detailed written representations during the examination of the application and make oral representation at any hearings held. You may wish to consult the IPC's 'Advice note eight' for further information.
