Dong Energy queried whether a National Park Authority (NPA) would be a statutory consultee for their proposal.
Advice given
The Regulation 9 list (of The Infrastructure Planning (Environmental Impact Assessment) Regulations 2009) issued on 04 November 2010 for the proposal set out the names and addresses of those bodies 'so notified' by the IPC about their duty to make information available in accordance with Regulation 9. This list does not represent a list of all those bodies that you may need to consult in order to comply with your pre-application consultation duties and you will need to carry out your own due diligence to identify the relevant prescribed consultees as the scheme is developed.
The opportunity remains for the NPA to provide comments to you about what should be included in the environmental statement and although the scoping opinion has now been adopted it is considered that they have not therefore been prejudiced. If you submit a further Regulation 6 (1) (b) notification identifying the land affected by the preferred connection route the IPC will notify the NPA (as required by Regulation 9 (1) (a)) of the duty imposed to make information available to you. This will assist you in preparation of the environmental statement.
