[Topic/Question] What are the main differences between the Planning Act 2008 process in England and Wales? [Answer] 
The differences are complex and reflect the agreed devolution powers. The Planning Inspectorate is a cross-border body working both in England and in Wales, with a number of Welsh Inspectors and Welsh speaking staff. In Wales there are fewer types of project that the Planning Inspectorate has jurisdiction over as compared to England. In England associated development can be made part of the application to the Planning Inspectorate whereas in Wales in most cases a separate application would have to be made to the authority who normally consents such development. Further information can be found in section 14 of the Planning Act 2008.
