Planning Permission
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what guidance her Department issues on whether a planning application previously been rejected by a planning authority can be resubmitted without substantive changes.
Answered by Matthew Pennycook
Planning Practice Guidance found on gov.uk here, sets out the position on this matter. The guidance makes clear that section 70A of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 allows local planning authorities to decline planning applications for recently refused proposals and sets out the circumstances in which this applies.
