- Enquiry type
Sedgemoor District Council, Somerset County Council and West Somerset District Council asked for clarification about the Panel?s intentions concerning the invitation to Interested Parties in the Procedural Decision dated 8 June 2012 to comment on the updated draft Development Consent Order (including Requirements), the Mitigation Route Map and Code of Construction Practice (Point 2 of the procedural decision).
The document submitted by EDF Energy entitled ?Updated Draft Development Consent Order and Proposed Mitigation? includes 5 Appendices but the Procedural Decision only refers to four of these. No specific mention of Appendix 4 (Draft s106 Agreement) is made in the procedural decision. The Councils asked the Planning Inspectorate to clarify whether the Panel will be expecting and will accept comments from Interested Parties on the draft s106 agreement as well as the other appendices?
Advice given
The Planning Inspectorate advised that the Panel would expect to hear comments on the draft s106 at the hearing to the extent necessary for them to understand its provisions and the bearing that those provisions would have on the DCO and the requirements contained therein. The detailed terms of the s106 are essentially a matter for the signatories thereto to agree.
