Chapter 4: Grant and Implementation of Planning Permission 293G Notifying parish councils of applications under section 293D(2) Effect
Section 293G requires that if a parish council would be entitled to be notified of applications (under paragraph 8 of Schedule 1 of the Act) if the application were made to the local planning authority, the Secretary of State must notify the council of the application and any alterations accepted to the proposed development by the Secretary of State if it is to be determined under section 293D(2). This has the effect of ensuring that parish councils are notified of applications when determined by the Secretary of State in the same way under the Crown development route as if it was submitted to the local planning authority.
