BNP Paribas, on behalf of their client Royal Mail, telephoned the IPC to ask for clarification about the application stage of each Nationally Significant Infrastructure Project as listed on the IPC website; and if Royal Mail had been contacted in regard to these projects.

The IPC replied by email.

Advice given

Thank you for your telephone call to the IPC helpdesk on Friday 9 March 2012.

The register of applications received by the IPC, as published on the IPC website under Section 39 of the Planning Act 2008, lists 13 applications (please see link below):

http://infrastructure.independent.gov.uk/projects/register-of-applications/

There are:

7 applications at Pre-Examination (Triton Knoll Offshore Wind Farm; Able Marine Energy Farm; Heysham to M6 Link Road; Preesall Saltfield Underground Gas Storage; Galloper Offshore Wind Farm; Brechfa Forest West Wind Farm; Hinkly C New Nuclear Power Station)

3 applications at Examination (Kentish Flats Extension; Ipswich Rail Chord; North Doncaster Rail Chord (near Shaftholme)

1 post-decision/archived (Rookery South Energy from Waste Generating Station); and

2 withdrawn/archived (Electric line connection to Maesgwyn wind farm; Brig y Cwm Energy from Waste Generating Station)

According to our records, the Royal Mail Group has been contacted as an Interested Party for the applications currently in the pre-examination and examination pipeline that have sent out the ‘procedural’ letters (Heysham, Brechfa Forest, Hinkley C, Kentish Flats, Ipswich Rail Chord, and North Doncaster). I have not, however, disclosed the unique Interested Party reference numbers here, because as you can appreciate these reference codes are intended for the recipient (but the Interested Party references are published as part of the publication of any representations made for each project).

On the IPC website, there are 65 projects either proceeding at pre-application or withdrawn.

I hope this information has been of some help. Please contact the IPC helpdesk should you require further information about the IPC process.
