I am not aware of any statutory timescales. However, we would normally have a clause in the S106 itself which, in simple terms, states that we must respond to any submission within a prescribed timescale (normally 20 working days) otherwise, in the absence of our response, said management plan, etc is deemed acceptable. When I receive submissions to discharge S106 obligations I set up a trigger in Idox Acolaid which then creates a task alerting me to responses I need to do so that we dont run over the 20 working days. I have not yet managed to set up an automatic consultation process within this though.
If you havent got similar clauses in your S106s (I would ask your legal team if they do this, because such requirements can be buried in the general clauses towards the front of the S106 or within the Council's Covenants in a seperate section, for example) then you could probably use similar timescales to discharge of conditions?
Rebecca.
