Any procedure associated with sending PEIR to statutory environmental bodies

Advice given

Please see Advice Note 7, as up-dated in March 2015 http://infrastructure.planninginspectorate.gov.uk/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/Advice-note-7v4.pdf. In terms of procedure, there is nothing prescribed on this particular point (i.e. providing PEIR to statutory bodies). Other applicants who have chosen to share PEIR with statutory consultees have included that document within the ?bundle? (or CD etc) of documents that they send at s42 (Planning Act 2008). There is also no formal notification in respect of just providing the PEIR. In terms of undertaking consultation with statutory parties under s42, you would need to notify the Planning Inspectorate on or before commencing that consultation and would need to provide us with the same information that would be sent to the prescribed parties (s46 Planning Act 2008).
