Travis Perkins PLC telephoned the Planning Inspectorate regarding the North London Reinforcement Project to ask why they had received the recent procedural letter.

Our response was by telephone.

Advice given

Thank you for your telephone enquiry to the Planning Inspectorate regarding the North London Reinforcement Project application and the latest procedural letter.

You received the procedural letter dated 18 October 2013 because Travis Perkins PLC had been invited by the Examining authority to the Preliminary Meeting in April this year; and consequently, under statutory legislation, the Examining authority has a duty to notify any such Persons invited to the Preliminary Meeting of the procedural decisions made at that meeting together with any variations made to the examination timetable.

Travis Perkins PLC at the address provided, was identified by the applicant in Part 3 of their Book of Reference, which forms part of the application. The applicant had therefore listed Travis Perkins PLC as being one of those Persons entitled to enjoy easements or private rights over land which it is proposed shall or may be interfered with, suspended or extinguished as a result of the provisions in the Development Consent Order for which an application is being made.

You can find out how Travis Perkins PLC has been listed by the applicant by reviewing their Book of Reference published on the National Infrastructure pages of the planning portal (Document 4.3): http://infrastructure.planningportal.gov.uk/projects/london/north-london-electricity-line-reinforcement/?ipcsection=app

In addition, you may also wish to view the applicant?s latest draft Development Consent Order (published on 29 July 2013), and the draft Development Consent Order issued by the Examining authority for consultation (published on 9 August 2013), as the Articles and Schedules therein sets-out how the proposed development and works shall be carried-out subject to receiving consent from the Secretary of State: http://infrastructure.planningportal.gov.uk/projects/london/north-london-electricity-line-reinforcement/?ipcsection=folder

Even though Travis Perkins PLC had not registered as an Interested Party, the Examining authority chose to invite Travis Perkins PLC to the Preliminary Meeting in order to establish its interests in respect of this application. Though the recent procedural letter was a request addressed to the applicant to provide further information about their Book of Reference, it also included a change to the examination timetable which explains why Travis Perkins PLC along with those invited to the Preliminary Meeting also received a copy of this letter.

Please note that the examination is expected to close on Wednesday and any correspondence received outside the procedural deadlines and before the examination closes, will be accepted only at the Examining authority's discretion.

I hope this information has been useful to you.
