Can you confirm how this impacts on the Ashford Borough Council area with regards to a pipeline /cable route. I was not aware any of the proposed development was either within or close to the Ashford Borough Council area. The cable/pipeline seems to be around Herne Bay which is miles away from us. If I have missed something on this then please me know.

Advice given

Sections 42 and 43 of the Planning Act 2008 (PA 2008) set out the developer?s duty to consult about a proposed application, and respectively the identification of relevant local authorities for this purpose.

A local authority is within s42(b) if the land to which the application relates is within the authority's area or the authority shares a boundary with a local authority in whose area the application is proposed.

The IPC invites all s42(b) local authority consultees of a proposed development, to submit an ?adequacy of consultation representation? which the IPC must have regard to in deciding whether or not to accept an application (s55 (4)(b) PA 2008). This ?adequacy of consultation representation? means a representation about whether the developer has complied, in relation to the proposed application, with its duties under sections 42, 47 and 48 of PA 2008 relating to consultation and publicity.

Details of the offshore and onshore elements of the proposed application can be found in the developer?s Consultation Report.
