  • Guide to Taking Part in Planning Appeals Proceeding by Written Representations - England
    Guide to taking part in planning appeals proceeding by written representations - England June 2011 Guide to taking part in planning appeals proceeding by written representations – England Please note – there are separate booklets for planning appeals that are proceeding by the hearing or inquiry process. This booklet does not apply to any appeal that is proceeding by the Householder Appeal Service (HAS) written representations process. For further information on the HAS, please see Good Practice Advice Note 02. You can access all our guidance and booklets through the Planning Portal at www.planningportal.gov.uk/pcs or you can contact us and we will send you a copy. If you need this guidance in large print, in audio format or in Braille, please contact our helpline on 0117 372 6372. The planning application and appeal process Planning applications are made to the local planning authority (LPA). Appeals may be made for a number of reasons, but most are made because the LPA have refused planning permission. Appeals are made to the Planning Inspectorate. Nearly all appeals are decided by our Inspectors, a very small percentage are decided by the Secretary of State - these tend to be for very large or contentious proposals. Effective community involvement is a key element of planning during the planning appraisal process. During the planning application process local communities should have been given the opportunity to comment on the development proposals which are the subject of an appeal and members of the public would have been welcome to give their views. If you had an interest in an application, whether you were for or against it, you almost certainly will be interested in the outcome of any appeal.

  • Planning Legislation: Merely Consolidated Or Completely Overhauled?
    Y Pwyllgor Cymunedau, Cydraddoldeb a Llywodraeth Leol Communities, Equality and Local Government Committee CELG(4)-19-15 Papur 1a / Paper 1a Planning legislation: merely consolidated or completely overhauled? CHARLES MYNORS1 I. Introduction Many of those who try to navigate their way around what is laughably called the ‘statute book’ would probably share the feelings of King Edward VI: I would wish that the superfluous and tedious statutes were brought into one sum together, and made more plain and short, to the intent that men might better understand them; which thing shall most help to advance the health of the Commonwealth.2 That was in 1550, and the problem has grown more than a little since then. One area of public life that has seen a particular growth in Government activity over the last century – with a corresponding increase in both legislation and guidance – is the management and control of the use and development of land. Unfortunately, however, there is a broad measure of agreement within the professional community that the planning system is now far too elaborate, and that it significantly prevents the provision of much needed housing, infrastructure and other new development.3 It also has very significant consequences for all those engaged in land transactions. After a period of languishing in obscurity, planning issues also seem to have recently attained greater prominence with the public and the media; and the resulting political enthusiaism for change has resulted in a system that is as misunderstood as it is criticised. Thus, lay commentators habitually refer to ‘the need to reform planning law’ when what they actually mean is ‘the desirability of reforming planning policy and procedure’ (national and local).

I am directed by the Secretary of State to say that consideration has been given to the report of Lesley Coffey BA Hons BTP MRTPI, who held a public local inquiry starting on 13 July 2020 into your client’s appeal against the decision of Herefordshire Council to refuse your client’s application for outline planning permission for a mixed use development including the erection of up to 625 new homes (including affordable housing), up to 2.9 hectares of B1 employment land, a canal corridor, public open space (including a linear park), access, drainage and ground modelling works and other associated works, in accordance with LPA reference 171532, dated 22 June 2018. The proposal is for outline planning permission with all matters reserved for future consideration with the exception of access. Only the means of access into the site is sought as part of this outline application, not the internal site access arrangements (i.e. they do not formally form part of the application). Vehicular access is proposed off the Bromyard Road. 2. On 26 March 2020, this appeal was recovered for the Secretary of State's determination, in pursuance of section 79 of, and paragraph 3 of Schedule 6 to, the Town and Country Planning Act 1990.
