Enquiry type
Phone

Enquirer asked if public inquiries still took place under the new planning regime.

Advice given

Explained that public enquiries are not held under the Planning Act 2008. Instead an inquisitorial approach is adopted during the examination of a proposal.
Written representations will be the main form of examination however interested parties may request to have a hearing. Additionally a Commissioner may also request to hold a hearing should s/he feels that further discussion on a specific issue is required.
