Marrons Shakespeares queried whether the requirements under Reg 13(2)(b)(i) and (ii) of The Infrastructure Planning (Environmental Impact Assessment) Regulations 2009 could be satisfied by way of provision of a link to the documentation hosted on a website.

Advice given

The Planning Inspectorate advised that it does not have a firm view about how Reg 2(b)(i) and (ii) could most appropriately be satisfied. However, taking into consideration obvious time and cost implications it would seem practical that the provision of a link to the application documents and environmental would suffice.

The Inspectorate strongly advised however that in the event that a consultation body expresses a preference to receive copies of the documentation in CD/DVD format, such a request should be upheld promptly.
