Yours faithfully,

Your email has been received by the Planning Inspectorate's Freedom of
Information team. We will log and allocate any request and may be in touch
if we need further information. Although we aim to answer requests within
the statutory 20 working day time limit, due to the current disruption in
normal business as a result of the Covid pandemic, our ability to do so
has been affected.

Dear Mr Hiscox,
Thank you for your Freedom of Information request on the 17th December. This has been passed to me, as part of the Customer Team, whose role is to consider and respond to request such as this.
Further to your request, please see attached a copy of the Inspector's Training Manual (ITM), for your information. Due to the limitations on file sizes with email attachments, I will be sending this to you in 3 parts. Part 1 is attached to this email, and Part 2 and 3 will follow in separate emails.
Please note that The ITM is subject to regular updates, and the Manual does not constitute Government policy or guidance and does not seek to interpret Government policy. In the event that there appears to be a discrepancy between the Manual and national policy / guidance, any national policy and guidance will be conclusive.
As this document is not written for an external audience, many of the hyperlinks point to our internal systems at the Inspectorate (including links from one chapter to another), and therefore will not be accessible to those outside.
The Inspector Training Manual has not yet been fully updated in response to the revised National Planning Policy Framework.
If you are unhappy with the outcome of your request for information, or the way we handled your request, then you can ask for an internal review. Details of our review procedures and contact details for the Information Commissioner's Office are set out in the attached leaflet.
Kind regards,
Matt Dunkley-Roberts
