Regulation 4 Action by local planning authorities
The local planning authority shall in transmitting the claim to the Secretary of State furnish to the Secretary of State—
any evidence and other information provided by the claimant in relation to the claim;
where the claim relates to a planning decision of the authority, particulars of the application for planning permission and a copy of the planning decision;
where the planning decision to which the claim relates was determined by the Secretary of State on a reference under section 35 of the Act, or on an appeal under section 36 of the Act, brief particulars of such decision and the Secretary of State's reference number, if known.
The local planning authority shall as soon as may be after the receipt of the claim or notice thereof furnish to the Secretary of State a statement as to the provisions of the development plan so far as material thereto and as to any more favourable decision or permission for alternative development which could in their opinion be given pursuant to section 38 of the Act, and shall also furnish from time to time such other information as the Secretary of State may require for the exercise of his powers under that section.
