[Topic/Question] What is a Certificate under section 58? [Answer] 
A certificate under s.58 of the Planning Act 2008 is a document that certifies to the Planning Inspectorate that the applicant has complied with s.56 ("Notifying Persons of Accepted Applications"). The prescribed form can be found in schedule 3 of The Infrastructure Planning (Applications: Prescribed Forms And Procedures) Regulations 2009. The applicant must certify to the Planning Inspectorate within 10 working days immediately following the deadline for receipt of relevant representations that they have complied with s.56 of the Planning Act 2008. In a case where no such certificate is received the Planning Inspectorate will be unable to commence examination of the application and ExA cannot be appointed as per s.61(1b) of Planning Act 2008.
