[Topic/Question] When can I register as an interested party? [Answer] 
You can register as an interested party after the application has been accepted for examination and the applicant has published a notice of the accepted application. The deadline to submit relevant representations to become an interested party will never be less then 28 days following the date that the developer publishes their notice of an accepted application. For further info on the content of this notice and who it must go to see section 56 (2) of the Planning Act 2008.
