An email from Andrew Simpkin reqesting details of the contact person at the IPC and how to register as an Interested Party for the Knutsford to Bowdon Roads Improvement proposal. The IPC were also copied into Mr Simpkins correspondence with the Highways Agency.

Cyngor a roddwyd

The following advice was given:

This proposal is currently at the pre-application stage of the process. Due to the nature of the planning regime established by the Planning Act 2008 (PA 2008), at the pre-application stage the Infrastructure Planning Commission (IPC) is unable to process and respond to comments on the merits of a scheme. This ensures the impartiality of the IPC and protects the interests of all parties involved in the process. However, correspondence received by the IPC during this stage will be retained on file and made available to the Commissioner once the application is submitted.

During the pre-application stage the developer will be statutorily obliged to consult the local community and statutory bodies, including local authorities; the developer has yet to commence this statutory consultation for this proposal under the PA 2008. In addition to providing your comments to the developer at this stage you may also wish to copy them to the relevant local authorities for this proposal.

When an application is submitted to the IPC we will have a 28 day period during which a Commissioner will decide whether or not to accept the application to progress to the examination stage. During this time we will invite relevant local authorities to provide us with their comments on the adequacy of the promoter?s consultation.

If the IPC accepts the application for examination, there will be an opportunity to register your views with the IPC and participate in the examination by completing a relevant representation form. Details about how and when to register as in interested party will be publicised by the developer in local newspapers and via on site notices. Further project information, including how to register, will also be available on the IPC website at the relevant stage.

For further information on the IPC and the specifics of the process which is to be followed you may wish to read advice that we have published. All of our advice is available via the following link - http://infrastructure.planningportal.gov.uk/legislation-and-advice/advice-notes// - and at this stage I would suggest reading advice notes 8.1 (how the process works) and 8.2 (how to have your say on a major infrastructure proposal).
