- Whether the application complies with Article 7(c)(i) of the Development Management Procedures Order 2015 by including a plan which identifies all land to which the application relates
What decided it
The application failed to comply with the mandatory requirement of Article 7(c)(i) of the Development Management Procedures Order 2015 because parts of the proposed dwelling extended outside the red line boundary shown on the submitted plans, and Section 327A of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 prohibits the local planning authority from entertaining such an application.
