As part of Schedule 1 of the Infrastructure Planning (Applications: Prescribed Forms and Procedure) Regulations 2009 the HPA are a statutory consultee for all proposed applications likely to involve chemicals, poisons or radiation which could potentially cause harm to people.
a) How does the IPC judge if applications involve chemicals, poisons or radiation? b) Should a promoter contact the HPA prior to producing a scoping report?

a) The circumstances for consulting the HPA is open to interpretation and the decision to consult the HPA will be taken on a case by case basis. Forwarding from this query we have adopted a cautious approach and will consult the HPA on all cases.

b) It is the duty of the promoter to widely consult as they feel necessary. As both the promoter and the IPC has a duty to consult the consultees identified in Schedule 1 it is likely that our consultee lists will be similar.
