Query from a Local Authority as to why they are being invited to comment on a proposal for on offshore wind farm off the Hampshire/Dorset coast.

Advice given

Developers are expected to consult widely on their proposals and have regard to Government guidance as well as the views of relevant local authorities on their proposed consultation of the local community under s.47 of the Planning Act 2008. The local authorities (including District and County Councils and National Park Authorities) where an NSIP is based are known as the 'B' local authorities, while 'A' local authorities are those that share a boundary with a 'B' authority. All 'A' and 'B' authorities must be notified under Regulation 9 of the EIA Regulations 2009. Your authority has been identified as an 'A' authority and as such we have written to you to advise you that the developer intends to submit an application on 10 April 2014.
