I have been discussing offshore planning issues with the MMO in the recent months and they have asked that we register to receive consultee notifications from http://infrastructure.planningportal.gov.uk. Is this something you could set-up, or send me a link to do so?

Cyngor a roddwyd

Seafish, the authority on seafood (The Kingfisher Information Services) are currently not identified as a Statutory Consultee, under Schedule 1 of The Infrastructure Planning (Applications: Prescribed Forms and Procedure) Regulations 2009, and therefore if you wish to be consulted on Nationally Significant Infrastructure Projects (NSIP) you must register individually to become an ‘interested party’ for each relevant NSIP that is formally submitted to the Planning Inspectorate. Registering to become and interested party and submitting a ‘Relevant Representation’ will grant you legal status to participate in the Examination.

Once an NSIP is submitted and accepted for Examination, the applicant is statutorily required, under s56 of the Planning Act 2008 (as amended), to notify of the accepted application and to advertise the time period in which members of the public and organisations can register to become an interested party.

The project pages of the Planning Portal website also offer an email updates feature in which you can sign up to receive notifications of when a project reaches key milestones and when key documents are published as well as choose to be notified when the registration period opens. Please visit the relevant specific NSIP page and enter your email into the ‘sign up’ box on the right of the page to register for this feature.

Please note that using the email updates feature does not grant you interested party status. You must still register to become an interested party if you wish to participate in the Examination.

If you have any questions regarding specific NSIPs please use the contact information given on the overview tab of the project page.
