Fully Withdrawn via REP1-143 My client wishes to raise the following concerns surrounding the project; • Failure to agree commercial terms due to a lack of meaningful consultation with the landowners and their agents. Have not ever met with the client either. • Failure to agree a method statement for the pipeline construction and failure to provide clarity regarding construction depth of the pipeline and assurances that the land can be farmed going forward • No consultation has taken place regarding potential future development of the pipeline corridor and compensation provision via a development clause • No consultation regarding the implementation of a haul road during the construction period Finally, the placement of permeant roadway and above ground infrastructure on my clients field. The positioning of the site makes the field very difficult to farm afterwards and creates awkward corners for farm machinery. This could mean that areas of production are sterilized. Adjacent to my clients field is the former Theddlethorpe Gas Terminal which makes an ideal site for any above ground infrastructure as access and screening is already in place. In the worst case scenario that the above ground infrastructure must be located on my clients land, the positioning of this needs to be amended.
