Abstract

Provides advice on the planning process for dealing with proposals for nationally significant infrastructure projects (NSIPs). Only applies once an application for development consent has been formally accepted by the Secretary of State for examination under procedures governed by the Planning Act 2008. Explains the purpose of the Preliminary Meeting in setting the procedure for the examination - this meeting provides an opportunity for registered 'interested parties' to make submissions about the way in which the examination is subsequently conducted.
