What is the UK Planning Inspectorate?

If you are interested in Planning Inspectorate jobs you should have some basic knowledge of what the Planning Inspectorate does.

The job of the Planning Inspectorate is to handle national infrastructure planning applications, local plan examinations, planning appeals and other matters related to infrastructure projects. The goal of the Planning Inspectorate is to make sure planning decisions are fair and that the decision-making process is transparent.

A Closer Look at the Planning Inspectorate’s Responsibilities

National infrastructure planning

Any large-scale infrastructure project such as roads, railways and airports must be approved by way of the Nationally Significant Infrastructure Projects (NSIP) process. When plans for infrastructure projects are submitted to the NSIP the Planning Inspectorate subjects the applications to intense scrutiny and recommends to the Secretary of State whether they should go forward.

Examining local plans

Planning Inspectorate jobs often include examining local plans. Local and national plans sometimes conflict with one another. The Planning Inspectorate is tasked with examining local plans related to infrastructure, housing and more to make sure they are not in conflict with national plans, policies or goals.

Handling planning appeals

In some cases a Local Planning Authority will refuse a planning application or impose conditions on the project that must be agreed to before it can go forward. If the project applicant wishes they can appeal these kinds of decisions. In which case the Planning Inspectorate will review the appeal to make sure both local and national policies are being applied properly.

Handling enforcement appeals

Sometimes a Local Planning Authority will determine that a development violates certain planning controls and issue an enforcement notice. In such cases, the developer can appeal the decision to the Planning Inspectorate to determine if the enforcement action by the Local Planning Authority was warranted.

Handling of CPOs and Right of Way Issues

Compulsory Purchase Orders – also known as eminent domain – involve the government acquiring land against the will of the landowner to satisfy a greater public good. Questions involving such purchases or disputes arising from public rights of way disputes are handled by the Planning Inspectorate.
