Chapter 4: Grant and Implementation of Planning Permission Section 111: Development commencement notices Background
This section inserts new section 93G into the TCPA 1990.
	New section 93G imposes a duty on the person intending to carry out a development to give a commencement notice (‘CN’) before any development has begun on a site. It requires the date on which a person expects a development to begin, and other relevant information set out in the example below.
	In the event of failure to comply, the local planning authority has a power to require the information requested in the commencement notice by serving notice under section 93G(5).
	Section 69(1) of the TCPA 1990 is also amended and requires that commencement notices are put on a local planning authority’s public register in order to allow public scrutiny of them. New section 69(2)(c) sets out the information the public register must contain.
