Why have we received a notification regarding the Keuper Gas Storage Project?

Advice given

Further to our telephone conversation this afternoon please note that you have received this notification regarding the Keuper Gas Storage Project because your organisation is a so called Category 3 person under the 2008 Planning Act (as amended) (PA2008).

This means that Legal and General Property have a land interest that is impacted by the project and you might therefore be entitled to make a claim under s57(4) of the PA2008 if the Secretary of State grants the developer a Development Consent Order.

As a Category 3 person the Planning Inspectorate has a legal obligation to notify Legal and General about any procedural decision relating to the examination of the project, such as notifying you about hearings, changes to the time table, and requests for information. However, it does not mean that Legal and General, as a category 3 person, have to respond to any correspondence from the Examining Inspector unless they think it is in their interest.

The plot of land that relates to Legal and general is Plot no. 52 which can be viewed here:

More details about the plot can be found in the Book of Reference on pages 168 and 179:

Further information on how the Development Consent Order process works can be found in our Advice Note 8.5 Participating in the Examination:

I have looked at our past correspondence with you and I understand that your Asset Manager at Legal and General Asset Manager for this plot of land is Alex Waterworth.

I hope you find this helpful. If you have any further queries or wish to make a submission with regard to the proposal please submit via the project mailbox at KeuperGSP@pins.gsi.gov.uk
