[Topic/Question] How do you handle information under your openness policy? [Answer] 
The fundamental values of the Planning Inspectorate are its commitment to openness, transparency and impartiality in the conduct of its business. We are committed to proactively publishing information which we hold unless to do so would be likely to damage the effective conduct of the Planning Inspectorate's statutory functions or the conduct of its business. The Planning Inspectorate has an active role in advising on the requirements and processes of the planning regime for national infrastructure and this can be found on our advice notes. We publish all documents submitted to us in connection with applications with the exception of any draft or working documents which are incomplete and potentially inaccurate or misleading. However, a record of all advice given by the Planning Inspectorate is published in our register of advice, as required by the Planning Act 2008 (as amended by the Localism Act 2011). When conducting the formal examination of applications, all evidence available to the Inspector/s is open to interested parties and the wider public through our pages on this website.
