These Regulations amend the Neighbourhood Planning (General) Regulations 2012 so as to, among other things: to prescribe circumstances in which a local planning authority must designate all of the area specified in a neighbourhood area application; insert a new Part 8A which provides for cases where a qualifying body requests the Secretary of State to intervene to decide whether to put a proposal for a neighbourhood development order or plan to referendum. These Regulations also amend the Town and Country Planning (Development Management Procedure) (England) Order 2015 to make provision for cases where a neighbourhood forum is notified of a planning application in their area, and for forums to be consulted on local development order proposals and applications for urgent Crown development.
