- Enquiry type
The IPC was made aware of a communication between the Promoter and the HPA (Health Protection Agency) regarding the HPA's status as a statutory consultee.
Advice given
In your email you state that the Health Protection Agency (HPA) is a ?statutory consultee?.
Just to be clear, although the HPA is one of the bodies listed in the schedules to the Infrastructure Planning (Applications: Prescribed Forms and Procedure) Regulations 2009 and the Infrastructure Planning (Interested Parties) Regulations 2010, the HPA is not automatically included in the IPC process in all cases. It is for the applicant and the IPC to each make discretionary judgements about this on a case by case basis under the relevant legislation. Further information on the relevant legislation and the IPC's approach can be found on the IPC's website and in particular in Advice Note 3.
In this case, if the HPA wishes to comment on the application and take part in the examination process, it must now register as an interested party and submit relevant representations no later than the deadline of the 20 February 2012.
You can register via the IPC website by following the link below and clicking the ?register online? button: http://infrastructure.independent.gov.uk/projects/north-west/heysham-to-m6-link-road/
Alternatively, you may request a hard copy of the registration form through the post by calling our helpline number on 0303 444 5000.
