Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what period he plans to give (a) local residents (b) the local planning authority and (c) relevant statutory consultees to respond to consultation under an Urgent Crown Development Order procedure before such an application is determined.

The Town and Country Planning (Crown Development) (Urgent Applications) (Procedure) (England) Order 2025 sets out the procedure for determining Urgent Crown development applications.

Where the Secretary of State has published an application and notifies consultees, he will also publish the period within which representations must be made and notify consultees of that date.
