I am not sure if I have ticked the correct box above. I live extremely close to the cable route and substation. I have right of access for our septic tank and soakaway (plot 85) and health concerns re the other plots listed - objections raised My purpose in completing this form is to ensure I am recorded as an interested party with regards to this application. Dong Energy did NOT include us in correspondence earlier in project and although I/we are now aware of the project, I am not sure if I am registered and if not would like to register as an interested party now if not already done through our recent communications with the Project team Could you perhaps also confirm to me if any of my neighbours are registered as interested parties, as we have all now spoken and met with Dong representatives but because Dong failed to include us initially, I am concerned we may miss out on important updates. My neighbours are Mrs N Brookes, Mrs P Foster, same postal code. Thankyou
Advice given
Thank you for your request to become an interested party For the Burbo Bank Offshore Wind Farm project and your time on the phone yesterday.
For clarification, and as discussed, the Planning Inspectorate is dealing an application for a Development Consent Order for the offshore element of the proposed project. This would be located west of the operational Burbo Bank offshore wind farm in Liverpool Bay. This is being dealt with as a Nationally significant Infrastructure project (NSIP) as defined in the Planning Act 2008.
The land and development to which you refer in your form is subject to an application to Denbighshire County Council, under the Town and Country planning Act 1990. The reference for this application is 31/2013/0400.
Unfortunately the only method of registering as an interested party for the Burbo Bank Offshore wind Farm project NSIP is to submit a representation during the prescribed period which ended on 24 June 2013. However, if you were to submit a representation about the project during the examination and ask us to accept it, it would be at the Examining inspector's discretion to consider your request.
In addition there is likely to be a series of public local hearings to discuss the application, where you are welcome to attend and again it would be at the Inspector's discretion to consider whether you can speak.
For further information about the process and to follow the progress of the NSIP application on the website please use the following link:
I hope that answers your questions, but if you need any further clarification please feel free to contact the case team, using the helpline number or email address below.
