Watson, Farley & Williams LLP wrote to the Inspectorate, noting that a Development Consent Order must be made in the form of a statutory instrument (SI) in certain circumstances and that, where this is required, to ask if the draft Development Consent Order submitted with an application should be produced on the "SI template" tool as used by departments.

Advice given

We advised that draft Development Consent Orders in the form of SIs should be submitted with formatting and structure mirroring a SI but that it was not necessary to use the SI template tool. If an order is made, the appropriate government department will produce the instrument in accordance with the drafting conventions for SIs.
