be approved. An example would be the need for public consultation as the
Planning Act 2008 requires that all applications for a DCO must follow the National Policy Statements, and during the pre-application process Section 47 requires the applicant to prepare a statement regarding how they propose to consult the local community. However, local residents revealed that pre-application consultation fell within the range of 'poor' to 'very poor' and a prominent critique was that communication between local authorities and the local community was too one sided and developers were reluctant to engage with local opinions and dialogue.

120:. This was amended under Part 4 of the Planning Act 2008 where this new process would require a DCO. This is an application for approval to construct a NSIP which is dealt with by the Planning Inspectorate who recommends the application to the Secretary of State, whom in turn has the authority to decide upon whether development should go ahead. Prior to the introduction of the Planning Act 2008, it was apparent that the town and planning system was not a "one-size fits all" solution when it came to major infrastructure projects such as

The introduction of the Planning Act was seen as more successful than the previous regime by most accounts, as it managed to reduce costs associated with the inefficient planning system by taking a more front-loaded approach such as the unification of the consent regime, introduction of National Policy Statements and introduction of a fixed timetable for the various stages of the application.

This new regime was intended to replace the traditional planning system and managed to reduce uncertainty around NSIP by introducing DCOs which were aimed towards increasing efficiency by reducing the amount of consent regimes required to meet development consent, as the old system required approval over several pieces of legislation. One example would be that the

uncertainty and frustration. The introduction of the
Planning Act 2008 managed to remove the need for other consent regimes providing a "one stop shop" to receive consent, instead of having to go to several bodies. Part 4 of the Planning Act 2008 states that NSIP will require a DCO, eliminating the need to seek approval under different regimes.

Common criticisms were directed towards the extensive pre-consultation requirements which meant that applications would take a long time to prepare as it takes two and a half months for consultation with the local authorities, the local community and statutory consultees before an application could

Prior to the introduction of the
Planning Act 2008, consents were often required under two or three pieces of legislation for a single project. The need for several different pieces of legislation to achieve planning consent meant that attempting to gain planning approval often led to delay,

The new procedure was criticised in various ways; one such criticism was that past the application stage, there was very little room for amendment. This could potentially be expensive and time-consuming if amendments to a DCO would be made. An example would be
