Advice given

Thank you for your email received on 1 November 2013 about the North London Reinforcement Project application. This application is a Nationally Significant Infrastructure Project (NSIP) under the Planning Act 2008 as amended (PA 2008) and has been examined by an appointed Examining authority at the Planning Inspectorate.

For your information, Southern Gas Networks Plc was identified as a 'statutory party' for this application who the Examining authority had to invite to the Preliminary Meeting under section 88(3)(c) of PA 2008 and, following that meeting, inform of any procedural decisions made subject to section 89(2A)(a). The Examining authority also needs to inform those invited to the Preliminary Meeting of any variations to the examination timetable, which is why the procedural letter dated 18 October 2013 was sent to Southern Gas Networks Plc. Statutory parties are also given the opportunity to notify the Examining authority in writing that the person wishes to become an 'interested party' for the purposes of being kept informed of the application and participate in the examination (section 89(2A)(b)). We did not receive any such notification from Southern Gas Networks Plc.

Procedural letters were therefore sent to Southern Gas Networks Plc at the following addresses:

c/o Scotia Gas Networks, Inveralmond House, 200 Dunkeld Road, Perth, PH1 3AQ, and;

St. Lawrence House, Station Road, Horley, Surrey, RH6 9HJ.

Please be informed that the examination has now closed for this application. There is a period of 3 months for the Examining authority to submit a recommendation to the relevant Secretary of State. Further information can be found on our website:

Regarding your request for any plans which may help you identify the works area, I refer you to the applicant's 'Works Plans' and 'Land Plans' submitted as part of their application, which are published on our website:
