Bircham Dyson Bell LLP, on behalf of their clients, enquired as to arrangements for applications for s.131 certificates.

The response was by email.

Advice given

Thank you for your email enquiry regarding applications for a s.131 certificate under the Planning Act 2008.

As indicated by the National Planning Casework Unit, the Planning Inspectorate will be involved in the processing of s.131/132 certificate applications as part of the DCO application process. We therefore suggest that any application for a s.131 certificate is addressed to the relevant Secretary of State, c/o The Planning Inspectorate (National Infrastructure Directorate).
