Enquiry regarding National Park Authority is not the planning authority for the Meaford Energy Centre project and whether they are intended receipient for the procedural letters.

Advice given

Thank you for your email. The Peak District National Park Authority is a statutory consultee on the Meaford Energy Centre application.

You may be aware however, that the Planning Inspectorate acts on behalf of the Secretary of State in examining applications for nationally significant infrastructure projects (NSIPs). As a part of the process, the Planning Inspectorate is under a duty to identify prescribed (statutory) consultees and inform them of any procedural decisions. Procedural decisions which the Planning Inspectorate must therefore send to you as a statutory party include:

? Rule 6 letter ? an invitation to the Preliminary Meeting, draft timetable, appointment of Examining Authority; ? Rule 8 letter - final examination timetable, ? Rule 8(3) letter - changes to examination timetable (Rule 8(3) letter) ? Section 99 letter ? close of examination letter

Please note however, that is for you to decide whether you wish to respond to this correspondence or participate in the examination. For more information about the project, please visit the project website using below link:

I hope this information is helpful, but please contact us should you have any more questions.

Kind Regards
