Environment Protection Act 2017

On receiving an application that complies with section 50 for a development licence, the Authority must ensure that a notice in accordance with subsection (2) is published—

on the Internet site of the Authority; and

in at least one other publication that the Authority considers appropriate, taking into consideration the Charter of Consultation developed under section 53.

A notice under subsection (1) must—

state that an application for a development licence has been made; and

describe the activity that is the subject of the application; and

contain any prescribed information; and

invite public comments or submissions within the time specified in the notice, being not less than 15 business days from the publication of the notice; and

state that, if the notice for the proposed development licence is intended to be combined under section 70(a) with a notice for works given under the Environment Effects Act 1978, any submissions referred to in paragraph (d)—

must be made together with any submissions made for the Environment Effects Statement relating to the works; and

despite paragraph (d), must be made within the time limits within which the submissions must be made for that Environment Effects Statement.
