Mr Godfrey requested information in relation to Natural England's status as an Interested Party and whether or not, NE had been succesfull in registering. Reference was also given to the Environment Agency and information given by the Examining Authority at the Preliminary Meeting in respect of the Blyth Biomass Power Station.

Advice given

Dear Colin,

many thanks for your email dated 3 August with regard to the submitted relevant representation on behalf of Natural England. I can confirm that Natural England is registered as an Interested Party (IP) for the North Blyth Biomass Power Station application.

The Environment Agency did not submit a representation on the prescribed form as referenced to at regulation 4 (1) of The Infrastructure Planning (Interested Parties) Regulations 2010 and is therefore not considered as an IP until The Planning Inspectorate receives confirmation from the Environment Agency of its wish to become an IP in response to the next procedural decision issued under Rule 8 of The Infrastructure Planning (Examination Procedure) Rules 2010.

I trust this has been proven useful to you and I apologise for any confusion.
