A member of Campaign to Protect Rural England contacted the IPC via email, asking whether the promoter of the application was required to submit an Economic Impact Report to the IPC as part of the application documents.

The IPC's response was by email.

Advice given

Thank you for your email enquiry to the Infrastructure Planning Commission on 2 February 2012, in regard to application documents for the Heysham to M6 Link Road application.

An "Economic Impact Report" is not one of the statutory requirements for an application for a Development Consent Order under the Planning Act 2008 or regulations made under it. The IPC?s s.55 checklist detailing the documents required for acceptance is available here:

I hope this information has been helpful. Please contact the case team again should you have any further questions.
