Regulation 16 Placing information and documents on the registerI1
England and Wales
A planning authority, Natural Resources Wales and the Welsh Ministers must deposit information and documents required by these Regulations or the 2024 Act on their register as soon as reasonably practicable after receiving the information or document or providing the pre-application services (as the case may be).
Paragraph (1) does not apply where—
the applicant has submitted a request to delay depositing on the register the information or document about the request for pre-application services and the services provided, and
the planning authority, Natural Resources Wales or the Welsh Ministers (as the case may be) consider the public interest in disclosure is outweighed by the justification provided in the request to delay depositing the information or document on the register.
Where a planning authority, Natural Resources Wales or the Welsh Ministers (as the case may be) consider the delay in depositing is justified they must deposit the information and documents required on their register as soon as reasonably practicable after the earlier of—
the third anniversary of the date of providing the pre-application services, or
the date on which the Welsh Ministers receive notice under section 29 (notice of proposed application) of the 2024 Act.
