Thank you for the opportunity to register as an Interested Party. North East Lincolnshire Council is a host authority. We have been liaising directly with the developer for some time now and have provided comments and updates throughout the pre submission period. These comments have been on the following matters. 1. Conservation and Heritage We have raised the need to consider conservation and heritage and we are aware that there has been ongoing discussions with our Heritage Officer. Policy 39 of the North East Lincolnshire Local Plan Adopted 2018 (NELLP) is the relevant policy on this matter. 2. Ecology The development should be considered in line with Policy 41 of the NELLP and the information provided so far is acknowledged. In particular, the reference to Biodiversity Net Gain. In relation to ecology, any impacts along the route should be sufficiently mitigated if required. 3. Highways Highway considerations need to be through the Transport Assessment and Construction Management Plan with associated Travel Plan. 4. Landscape We have raised the need to consider landscape and impacts to trees and we are aware that there has been ongoing discussions with our Trees & Woodlands Officer. Policy 42 of the North East Lincolnshire Local Plan Adopted 2018 (NELLP) is the relevant policy on this matter. 5. Drainage Drainage is a consideration. It would be beneficial if all drainage works are identified as within the Order limits to avoid the need for any separate future applications in relation to drainage works. 6. Environmental Health Air quality will need to be considered. 7. Rights of Way We have raised the need to consider the public rights of way along the route and we are aware that there has been ongoing discussions with our Rights of Way Officer. 8. Safety and HSE Previous discussions on the designation of the pipeline are acknowledged and that the pipeline is unlikely to be a hazardous pipeline under HSE designation. However clarity in relation to safety is considered to be an important factor. We hope the above is of value. We look forward to working on this project as the examination proceeds. Please do not hesitate to contact me should you require any further clarification.
