Queries regarding the Scoping Opinion consultation undertaken by the IPC.

  1. Does the IPC consult all Parish Councils in the area?
  2. Is this the main consultation undertaken for the proposal?

Advice given

  1. Explained that, in accordance with the Planning Act 2008, the IPC consults all Parish Councils which are affected by the red line boundary of the proposal, i.e those Parish Councils within which the proposal will sit (these are known as 'B' Parish Councils) AND all parish councils which share a border with those parish Councils (these are known as 'A' parish councils and share a border with the 'B' parish council).

In the circumstances of Galloper Offshore wind farm the relevant parish councils are identified as those likely to be affected by proposed onshore associated development such as a sub-station.

  1. This is only for consultation on environmental information. The applicant is required to undertake consultation about the proposal to the local community and statutory consultees during the pre-application stage.

The applicants scoping request is available on our website.
