Enquirer is currently researching about the pre-application consultation process and asked:
Which section within the Act details the duty to publicise the proposed application and what is the minimum timeframe for consultation responses?

s48 of the Act states that an applicant must publicise the proposed application. The publication must include a deadline for the receipt of responses to the publicity (min 28 day time frame).
Forwarded links to secondary legislation and guidance which related to pre-application consultation.
