Article 4 Preliminary information to be supplied by local planning authority
The local planning authority shall, on receipt of a notice from the Secretary of State of his intention to cause an inquiry to be held (“the relevant notice”), forthwith inform him and the applicant in writing of the name and address of any section 29(3) party who has made representations to them; and the Secretary of State shall as soon as practicable thereafter inform the applicant and the local planning authority in writing of the name and address of any section 29(3) party who has made representations to him.
This paragraph applies where—
the Secretary of State or any local authority has given to the local planning authority a direction restricting the grant of planning permission for which application was made; or
in a case relating to listed building consent, the Commission has given a direction to the local planning authority pursuant to paragraph 6(2)(b) of Schedule 11 as to how the application is to be determined; or
the Secretary of State or any other Minister of the Crown or any government department or local authority has expressed in writing to the local planning authority the view that the application should not be granted either wholly or in part, or should be granted only subject to conditions, or, in the case of an application for consent under a tree preservation order, should be granted together with a direction requiring replanting; or
any authority or person consulted in pursuance of a development order has made representations to the local planning authority about the application.
Where paragraph (2) applies, the local planning authority shall forthwith after the date of the relevant notice (“the relevant date”) inform the person or body concerned of the inquiry and, unless they have already done so, that person or body shall thereupon give the local planning authority a written statement of the reasons for making the direction, expressing the view or making the representations, as the case may be.
