These Regulations amend the Infrastructure Planning (Applications: Prescribed Forms and Procedure) Regulations 2009 to remove a requirement relating to the plans that must accompany an application for development consent under the Planning Act 2008. In particular, these Regulations remove the minimum scale requirement for plans that show offshore matters.
