In March 2026 the Government published a national consultation

applications. The consultation asked for responses to a set of
questions. This report sets out a single council response
comprising input from officers across all relevant council
services.
Reasons for the decision:
To allow NYC to submit comments to the
consultation.
Alternative options considered:

Government.
