Alternative Developments on Same Site - Public forum - Planning Advisory Service (PAS)

Not encountered that yet, but I would be tempted to go for option B, so that it's easier to do joint consultations/publicity, etc. rather than having to duplicate everything. On the other hand, however, it would certainly be cleaner to go for option A, especially if the decisions end up being different for each alternative. Also technically they could, I suppose, both be granted, in which case they may have different conditions that may cause difficulties to produce DNs in your system and if you use your system to discharge conditions could end up in all sorts of confusions...

I would definitely ask them to register two separate planning applications..

If you are using Uniform Software for Development Management its not going to be able to cope with multiple decisions / objections / consulations from the same sources against a single application.

A separate appropriate fee for each application dependent on the proposal.

Thanks for the replies, my initial thought was that two separate applications should be registered as it would be easier to sort conditions and issue decision notices, this is the way we've decided to move forward.  Thanks
