Requesting advice as to whether planning consent is required for the installation of portacabins or other temporary structures for the purpose of training on Railway Land leased from Network Rail in Greater London.

Advice given

Thank you for your email received on 23rd November regarding making an application to the IPC. The IPC can only grant consent for Nationally Significant Infrastructure Projects (NSIPSs), which are defined in Part 3 of the Planning Act 2008. You will need to seek your own legal advice as to whether or not a project that you are promoting is an NSIP or not. The IPC is not able to provide you with legal advice in this respect.

Part 3 of the Act will help you determine if your query is considered an NSIP or whether you will need to seek advice from your Local Authority.
