We have received two letters from you – your ref EN010056 addressed to a Nicholas Ridley care of our firms address and whilst you have cited a reference for our firm , this does not look like our normal reference and we cannot trace having been involved in this matter. Please could you confirm where you obtained our details in order to assist us in checking whether this matter is actually one of ours.
Advice given
The Applicant for the proposed East Anglia THREE Offshore Wind Farm has included Nicholas Ridley, care of your firms address, within Part 1 of their Book of Reference. This means that they have been identified as having a Category 1 interest under section 57 of the Planning Act 2008 (PA2008). Category 1 interest is defined within the PA2008 as follows: ‘A person is within category 1 if the applicant, after making diligent inquiry knows that the person is an owner, lessee, tenant (whatever the tenancy period) or occupier of the land (s57(1))’. This is in relation to land required for the construction of the project. The Planning Inspectorate must contact the relevant Affected Persons (of which Mr Ridley would be one) related to the proposed development to advise them of key events and procedural decisions made during the period of examination to provide an opportunity for comments to be made by those persons. The reference number that would have been included in the correspondence sent to you has been generated from our mailing list. The reference we have on our system relating to Mr Ridley is EATH-AFP085 and relates to land at the north west of Cornerways, Brock Lane, Martlesham, in the District of Suffolk Coastal. This can be viewed on Land Plan 13 of 24. This should provide you with the information that you need to ascertain the impact on your client of the project.
