No answer to a question is legal advice and no lawyer-client relationship is created between the person asking the question and the person answering it.

What are the notification requirements for a planning application?
Anonymous (Private practice)
Q:
In submitting an application for a development site for land which is subject to a wayleave agreement in favour of ‘A’.
Is the applicant under an obligation to serve notice of the application on ‘A’ where ‘A’ is not a freehold owner or a body with a long leasehold interest. If the applicant is not required to serve a notice on ‘A’, should the local authority serve such a notice?
My understanding is that a notice should be served on owners of land, owners being defined as a body with a freehold interest or a leasehold interest which has an expired term of not less than 7 years. Therefore the applicant is under no obligation to serve a notice.
In summary, where ‘A’ is not an owner are they still entitled to be served a notice and who is responsible for serving such notice?
