I would like to speak to someone regarding the recent changes (March 2017) to the Planning Act 2008 to allow 500 houses to be included within a DCO application. I am keen to understand who or what prompted this change and what organisations have been involved in such a policy change. It is a concerning turn of events for those communities already facing extreme disruption so I would like to understand more about the logic behind it.

Cyngor a roddwyd

The Planning Inspectorate is impartial and does not comment on Government policy.

Our parent ministerial department, and owner of the Planning Act 2008 (PA2008) regime, is the Department for Communities and Local Government (DCLG). DCLG may be able to assist with your enquiry, and details about how to contact the department are available on its website here: https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/department-for-communities-and-local-government

For information, I am providing a link to DCLG’s guidance which has been published in conjunction to the changes to section 160 of the PA2008: https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/601461/Housing_and_Planning_Act_guidance.pdf
