Ms Purl asked whether or not Fleetwood Town Council were required to register as an intrested party in order to particpate in the examination into the Preesall Underground Gas Storage application.

Advice given

Fleetwood Town Council is a host parish or community council to part of the Preesall proposal.

Prescribed consultees, including host and neighbouring parish and community councils, are automatically afforded the status of an ?interested party? for the purposes of applications submitted to the IPC. These organisations do not need to register formally by submitting a relevant representation in order to make their views known during the examination.

The IPC does, however, invite prescribed consultees to send us a relevant representation in order to inform the examining authority?s initial assessment of issues ahead of the Preliminary Meeting, in accordance with s.88 of the Planning Act 2008.
