Enquiry type

Clarification was sought as to the reasons why Wirral Borough Council are classed as a neighbouring authority under s.43 of the Planning Act 2008.

Advice given

The IPC confirmed that Wirral Borough Council were included on the Regulation 9 (re the EIA Regulations) list produced at the point when the IPC issued a Scoping Opinion for the project because at that time the Scoping Report included three potential grid connection locations.

Since that time Dong Energy have clarified which grid connection offer will be used. However, the IPC will not be producing a further Reg 9 list. It was confirmed that Dong Energy as the future applicant must satisfy themselves that they have consulted appropriately and at a broad enough area to satisfy the requirements of pre-application consultation.
