Can the Checklist be used for independent audits of planning applications?
Yes. If the Developer and/or Planning Authority so wish, the Checklist can be completed or audited by a third party in much the same way as Sustainability Appraisals are carried out now. Whilst we would not envisage this happening on every application, it may be useful in significant, controversial or strategic sites, or on sites where competing applications are being submitted.
