Enquiry

From
Tim Maddison
Date advice given
9 July 2010
Enquiry type
Phone

Mr Maddison wished to express concern about the consultation exercise undertaken by Covanta in relation to the proposed Energy from Waste plant in Merthyr Tydfil.

Advice given

The IPC is unable at this time to comment on the adequacy of any consultation exercises undertaken. In line with CLG's Guidance on pre-application consultation (para 90), any such concerns ought to be raised with the promoter in the first instance, and then the local authority (who are entitled under s55 of the Planning Act to make an adequacy of consultation representation during the acceptance phase). The IPC is happy to be copied into any correspondence of this nature and will keep the comments on file and make them available to the Commissioner(s) at the acceptance stage.
