Section 35B(3) (pre-application consultation: compliance) of the 1997 Act applies, as amended by section 18(3) of the Act, in relation to the submission of a relevant application with the modification that the maximum period of 18 months which is to elapse before the relevant application is submitted is to be treated as a reference to the period of 18 months beginning on F11 October 2022 rather than to the period of 18 months after the giving of the proposal of application notice.

In this regulation, “relevant application” means an application for planning permission in respect of which the prospective applicant has given a proposal of application notice to the planning authority before F21 October 2022.
