Wyre Borough Council (WBC) have received a Freedom of Information (FOI) request from the developers for the Preesall Saltfield Underground Gas Storage scheme requesting land ownership details along the proposed pipeline route.
Advice given
It is for WBC to obtain their own legal advice on what land ownership information they are able to provide to the developer. The developers have previously indicated that they may submit a request to the IPC under Section 52 of the Planning Act 2008 (the Act). The developer has to provide an explanation as to what reasonable efforts have already been made to obtain information about interests in land prior to submitting such a request. This may be the reason for the FOI request and WBC may wish to refer to Section 52 of the Act and IPC Advice Note 4 'Obtaining information about interests in land' (due to be updated shortly) for further information.
