What is the deadline given to Local Authorities for the submission of (a) their adequacy of consultation representation and (b) their Local Impact Reports (LIR)

Advice given

(a) We ask that the adequacy representation is received no later than 14 days after an application is submitted. We encourage Local Authorities to have their representation prepared ahead of the submission date if possible to ensure that the IPC is given sufficient time to examine its content and use the information therein to help inform the decision as to whether to accept an application.

(b) The deadline for the submission of the LIR is set following the preliminary meeting. CLG guidance indicates that the deadline should be six weeks from the last day of the preliminary meeting, though the actual deadline is at the discretion of the examining authority. As with the adequacy representations, local authorites are encouraged to start work on this document as early as possible and ensure that any deadline set is consistent with any internal procedures that need to be adhered to.
