New planning guides designed to help local people “frame their comments” have been launched by the Planning Inspectorate. The guides provide best practice for local authorities, planning agents, developers and local residents and will assist local people if they want to make a comment. ODPM minister Baroness Andrews said: “The material in this guide will help everyone to understand what the key tests will be when development plan documents and statements of community involvement are examined by an inspector from the Planning Inspectorate. The guides will also help any individual or group frame their comments on the plan or statement and it explains how those comments will be considered by an impartial inspector.”
