Advice given

Thank you for your email informing us that the project is not in the parish area.

You may be aware however, that the Planning Inspectorate acts on behalf of the Secretary of State in examining applications for nationally significant infrastructure projects (NSIPs). As a part of the process, the Planning Inspectorate is under a duty to identify prescribed (statutory) consultees and inform them of any procedural decisions. Your Parish Council has been identified as one of the statutory parties for the above project. Procedural decisions which the Planning Inspectorate must therefore send to you as a statutory party include:

? Rule 6 letter ? an invitation to the Preliminary Meeting, draft timetable, appointment of Examining Authority; ? Rule 8 letter - final examination timetable, ? Rule 8(3) letter - changes to examination timetable (Rule 8(3) letter) ? Section 99 letter ? close of examination letter

Please note however, that is for you to decide whether you wish to respond to this correspondence or participate in the examination.

In the Rule 8 letter, the Examining Authority asks statutory parties whether they wish to become an interested party for the examination of the project. If you do not inform us that you wish to become an interested party within the deadline specified in the Rule 8 letter, you will not receive any more examination correspondence with exception to those listed above.
