I have received a letter from ABLE UK advising me that their application is able for the public to view in Hedon Customer Service Centre from 20th February - 2nd April 2012.
As I haven't been involved in an IPC application before, I wondered if you would be so kind as to advise me please?
I've looked at the pre-examination details on the website; http://infrastructure.independent.gov.uk/application-process/the-process/pre-examination/
Is there anything that we as a Local Authority should know or be doing at the present time?

Thank you for your email concerning your role at this stage in the examination of Able's proposal for the Marine Energy Park.
Due to the location of the compensation site your Council is referred to as a B authority in the context of section 43 of the Planning Act 2008. As such, you have certain roles and responsibilities, including an automatic, statutory right to take part in the examination and you will also receive an invitation to submit a local impact report (as per s.60 of the Act). This report is a key opportunity for you to provide the examination with details of the likely impacts on your area and you will be invited to submit this by the Examining Authority at a later date. We would however recommend that you consider starting work on this at the earliest opportunity. Specific advice is available on our website - http://infrastructure.independent.gov.uk/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/Advice-note-1-LIR.pdf
At this stage in the process (pre-examination) the applicant is responsible for advertising that the application was accepted for examination and that people are now able to register as an interested party by submitting a relevant representation. Whilst you automatically hold this status you may wish to consider submitting a relevant representation anyway as it will ensure that we have an overview of your position on the case; you will be able to submit a fuller written representation at a later date. You may wish to refer to the following advice for more information - http://infrastructure.independent.gov.uk/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/Advice-note-8.3-web.pdf If you decide to submit a representation I would encourage you to do so via the project page on our website - http://infrastructure.independent.gov.uk/projects/yorkshire-and-the-humber/able-marine-energy-park/ - by clicking "Register Online".
I hope that this helps however if you have further queries please do not hesitate to contact me.
