Create Interim Development Consent Order (DCO) Recommendation Reports

Interim DCO Recommendation Reports

Full Recommendation Text

Government should legislate a requirement that each examining authority publishes an "Interim Recommendation Report" prior to the first deadline in an examination. This should set out the main areas to be examined, and representations may be disregarded save to the extent that the Examining Authority considers them important or relevant. This should mirror a final recommendation report as closely as possible, and replace the current list of "Initial Assessment of Principal Issues" which lacks detail.
