Rules 5 and 6 provide a statutory framework for the holding of pre-inquiry meeting. Rule 7 requires planning authorities to include as part of their statement of case a list of the conditions, if any, which they presently consider, should be imposed on any grant of planning permission by the Secretary of State. Rule 8 places a statutory obligation on the applicant to disclose at an early stage the principal basis of his case. In addition, rule 9 enables the Secretary of State or the reporter to require any other party who has notified an intention to attend the inquiry to submit a statement of case prior to the commencement of that inquiry. Rule 12 imposes a statutory requirement on that party in certain circumstances to submit a written summary of the precognition. Further, where a summary is provided only that summary shall be read out at the inquiry, although parties may be questioned on the content of their whole precognition.
