The legal requirement

Under the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 and the Town and Country Planning (Development Management Procedure) Order 2015, certain categories of planning application must be publicised by notice in a local newspaper circulating in the area of the proposed development.

This includes major developments, applications that depart from the development plan, applications affecting listed buildings or conservation areas, and proposals affecting public rights of way.

The local planning authority is responsible for determining whether newspaper advertisement is required, but applicants and agents frequently arrange publication directly to avoid delays.
