Regulation 23 Objections and representations

The period within which objections and representations may be made to the local planning authority with respect to a plan or proposals to which regulation 22 refers shall be six weeks beginning with the date on which a notice given pursuant to regulation 22(1)(b) is first published in a local newspaper.

Objections and representations shall be made in writing and addressed to the local planning authority in accordance with the details given in the published notice.

In addition to the requirement to consider objections imposed by sections 13(6) or 40(7), as the case may be, the local planning authority shall also consider any representations made in accordance with this regulation.

In the case of a plan, or proposals for the replacement of a plan, to which regulation 22 refers, a representation that matters relating to the development and use of land not included in the plan or proposals ought to have been so included shall, if the representation is made within the time and in the manner required by this regulation, be treated as an objection made to the plan or proposals in accordance with these Regulations for the purpose of regulations 26 and 28 and sections 16 and 42.
