[Topic/Question] Who do I need to consult and how? [Answer] 
Before an application is submitted the developer must consult widely in order to refine the proposal. There are many organisations that need to be consulted during the process. A list of these bodies can be found in sections 42-44 of the Planning Act 2008 and Schedule 1 of the Infrastructure Planning (Applications: Prescribed Forms and Procedure) Regulations 2009. These include local authorities and those owning or having an interest in the land concerned. If an application is accepted for examination, the applicant must also notify certain bodies of this decision and publish notices in the press inviting members of the public and other persons to register their interest in the application.
