Regulation 7 Consultation and publicity: site noticeI1

In the case of a proposed application for development on land in Wales, the applicant must display a notice (“site notice”) in at least one place on or near the land to which the proposed application relates for not less than 42 days.

Where a proposed development relates to a linear scheme exceeding 5km in length, a site notice must be displayed at intervals of no more than 5km from the start to the end of the proposed route unless it is impracticable to do so.

Where the site notice is, without any fault of the applicant, removed, obscured or defaced before the period of 42 days has elapsed, the applicant will be treated as having complied with the requirements of the relevant paragraph if they have taken reasonable steps to protect the site notice and if need be, replace it.
