Can you provide me with information on how to register Durleigh Parish Council's interest in this project?

Advice given

If the IPC accepts the Hinkley application for examination, Durleigh Parish Council can make a relevant representation to register as an interested party at the appropriate time via our prescribed form available online or as a hard copy on request.

Details about how and when to register will be publicised by the developer in local newspapers and via site notices near the main site, and also at the associated development sites. The IPC will also offer details about how to register and other project information on our website.

As an interested party, you will receive all of the IPC?s general correspondence regarding the project; will be notified of the application?s key milestones; will have the opportunity to submit further written representations during the application?s examination and can participate in the examination hearings.

Please be aware that Durleigh Parish Council may fall within the definition of a relevant parish council under Schedule 1 of the Applications: Prescribed Form & Procedure Regulations 2009 for the Hinkley Point C application. This would make your parish council a statutory consultee and therefore it would be automatically considered an ?interested party?.

To check whether Durleigh Parish Council is deemed a statutory consultee at this stage, the easiest option would be to send a query to our helpdesk email address at ipcenquiries@infrastructure.gsi.gov.uk.

Further information on how to participate in the application process can be found in our advice notes. Advice Notes 8.1 & 8.3 may be of particular use in this instance. A link to these is provided below:

I trust this response is helpful.
