Advice given to the statutory party on their status and role in the process

Cyngor a roddwyd

Thank you for your email regarding Thorpe Marsh Gas Pipeline project.

I understand that you do not wish to receive any further correspondence regarding Thorpe Marsh Gas Pipeline project.

Please note however, that the Equality and Human Commission is identified as a statutory party in regulations for this project. The Planning Inspectorate, acting on behalf of the Secretary of State, is therefore under a duty to inform all statutory parties about any procedural decisions with regard to that project. Procedural decisions which must be send to you as a statutory party regardless 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 it is for you to decide whether you wish to respond to above letters or participate in the examination.

In the Rule 8 letter, the Examining Authority will ask all 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.

I hope that is helpful and apologies for any inconvenience.
