Why other schools should be consultees apart from Barley Lane Primary

 



Councils have a duty to engage with key organisations before planning decisions are made. Redbridge Council at today list those organisations with status at the end of this post. Only one school Barely Lane  Primary is listed as a consultee. This must be wrong, other local schools should be given the same status.

I have written to Redbridge Council today asking for this error to be corrected. It is wrong that only one school is to be given this special status. The role of Non-statutory consultees is defined below and taken from https://www.gov.uk/guidance/consultation-and-pre-decision-matters#Non-statutory-consultees

Non-statutory consultees

What other organisations will local planning authorities engage with as part of the planning application process?

In addition to the statutory consultees set out in table 2 below, local planning authorities will need to consider whether there are planning policy reasons to engage other consultees who – whilst not designated in law – are likely to have an interest in a proposed development (non-statutory consultees). An example of this is the Battlefield Trust in relation to any proposed development that may impact on a historical battlefield site.

To help applicants develop their proposals, local planning authorities are encouraged to produce and publish a locally specific list of non-statutory consultees.

How can local planning authorities engage with non-statutory consultees?

Local planning authorities need to identify the particular types of development or areas in which non-statutory consultees have an interest, so that any consultation can be directed appropriately, and unnecessary consultation avoided.

To ensure consultations are received promptly it is helpful to for applicants and local planning authorities to agree the most cost and time effective system of notification on individual applications.

How long do non-statutory consultees have to respond to a planning application?

Non-statutory consultees are expected to respond within the period specified by the local planning authority. Where, exceptionally, additional time is required it is important to notify the local planning authority as soon as possible. It will be for the local planning authority to decide if further time is allowed. Extensions of time which are negotiated between non-statutory consultees and the local planning authority will not affect the applicant’s right to appeal against non-determination. In considering whether to agree an extension to specified deadline, local authorities will therefore need to consider the views of the applicant, and the likely impact on the overall time taken to reach a decision.
