Are promoters required to submit Design and Access Statements as part of their applications? Where can I find the thresgholds for nationally Significant Infrastructure Projects?
Advice given
The prescribed application documents can be found in regulation 5 of the Infrastructure Planning (Prescribed Forms and Procedures) Regulations 2009. Design and Access Statements are not listed as mandatory application documents. Some developers have found them to be a useful means of presenting the relevant information and have submitted them nevertheless. Examples can be found on our website. The thresholds for schemes which would qualify as Nationally Significant Infrastructure Projects can be found in sections 14 and 15-30 of the Planning Act 2008.
