  1. Planning Inspectorate and local authorities working together 12th September – The Studio Birmingham 17th September – TCPA, London

  2. Key messages • The Inspectorate will not actively encourage applicants to take a S62A route. • Where applicants choose to make this choice the Inspectorate must provide a credible process for applicants. • Applicants will be reminded that they forego right of appeal by making their application direct to the Secretary of State.

  3. Building relationships with LPAs • The Inspectorate wants to work with LPAs, to build up positive working relationships. • We will advise LPAs when we have developers looking to use this route. • Recognise the important role of the LPAs in the planning process and in relation to Section 106 agreements. • Digital by default approach to information exchange • Utilise planning portal re access to forms and guidance • Major Applications portal pages to display transactional information

  4. Stages of Involvement • At designation(non statutory) • Issues that affect the whole district – plan status, major constraints, CIL, key contacts • Purpose to build up knowledge base • At Pre-application - (non statutory) • To clarify constraints affecting site and any key information/specialist knowledge • Clarify policy position and any changes since designation • At formal application stage -(statutory requirement to provide) • Site history • Site constraints • Responsibility for LPA to notify neighbours • Responsibility for LPA to place copy of application on register

  5. Questions to think about? • Provision of information – How easy would it be to provide site history and constraint details at the application stage within the five day requirement? • How reasonable is it to utilise the availability of technical planners and advisors and the local knowledge - access to local knowledge on a factual basis? • Practical difficulties of neighbour notification – systems have standard letters however contact details for these applications will be different – Consistency of processes between authorities. • Visibility of information - The inspectorate is required to publish the details of any S62A application – and provide route for local people to make comment – How many LPAs have only electronic access at their front desks? If helpful we can produce some FAQs to assist with Customer Service Desk queries.

  6. If you are designated we will ask you to :- • Identify key contacts in your departments to access factual information (e.g. constraints) • Identify Key senior staff who will handle major applications involvement and to whom any queries can be addressed. • My contact details - • Janet Wilson • janet.wilson@pins.gsi.gov.uk • Tel 0303 444 5058
