Chapter 4: Grant and Implementation of Planning Permission Chapter 6: Other Provision Section 122: Consultation before applying for planning permission Background
This section amends section 122 of the Localism Act 2011 to make permanent the powers to make provision for pre-application consultation in sections 61W to 61Y of the TCPA. These expire seven years after coming into force unless extended by order. The provisions were extended by the Town and Country Planning (Pre-Application Consultation) Order 2020 (S.I. 2020/1051) until 15 December 2025. These powers have been used to require pre-application consultation on proposals for on-shore wind turbines.
