[Topic/Question] What publicity do I need to undertake as part of the application process? [Answer] 
Once an application is accepted by the Planning Inspectorate enabling the examination to begin, the applicant must notify the relevant local authorities and publicise the applications by means of a notice according to section 56 of the 2008 Planning Act. The notice must be published in the press and other journals. In addition, the notice must be displayed in an accessible place at the site, or, if the scheme is linear, then at intervals of no more than 5km. The notice must set out how the application documents can be inspected and include a timescale for comments to the Planning Inspectorate. The full details of this publicity are set out in regulation 9 of the Infrastructure Planning (Applications: Prescribed Forms and Procedure) Regulations 2009 and the Infrastructure Planning (Examination Procedure) Rules 2010.
