The Welsh Government (WG) is consulting on the proposals relating to the introduction of a new category of application type (developments of national significance) with a closing date for responses of 12 August.
The Welsh Government writes:
This consultation seeks views on detailed proposals to establish a new system for the Welsh Ministers to process ‘Developments of National Significance’ (DNS). This is a new category of planning application.
This consultation paper seeks views on:
- the thresholds and criteria of what qualifies as an application for DNS
- which secondary consents may be submitted for consideration and determination alongside an application for DNS
- our proposals as to how pre-application notification, advice and consultation is undertaken
- the procedure for considering and determining an application for DNS
- our proposed fee structure for DNS applications
- the role of local planning authorities throughout the process.
