Does the requirement under APFP Reg 6(1)(b)(i) to provide 'details of the proposed route and method of installation for any cable' mean that applicants have to submit a separate 'Cable Statement' document or would there be any problem with providing these details elsewhere within the application documents such as within the project description chapter of the Environmental Statement?
Advice given
We cannot see any reason why the information required under APFP Regulation 6(1)(b)(i) must be presented as a stand alone document. It could therefore be possible for an applicant to include these details within, for example, the Environmental Statement (ES) provided that it is clear exactly where this information can be found within the ES and that all the information required by Reg 6(b) is included. To avoid any confusion at the accepatnce stage, the applicant may wish to specify in the application form precisely where in the ES this information can be found.
