It has come to our attention that we have been missed from your Statutory and Non statutory list for projects that have been submitted for Offshore renewable development. We would be grateful if this can be rectified at an earliest opportunity.
The Chamber of Shipping is a major trade Association for the Shipping Industry in UK. With 139 members and associate members, the Chamber represents over 932 ships of about 25 million gross tons and is recognised as the voice of the UK shipping industry.
Advice given
Schedule 1 within The Infrastructure Planning (Applications:Prescribed Forms and Procedure) Regulations 2009 (listing statutory consultees) is the CLG responsibility and is not within the remit of the IPC to amend. You may wish to contact CLG direct if you would like to make represenations about being added to the schedule.
With regard to your request for the Chamber of Shipping to be added to the list of non-statutory bodies consulted by the IPC when a scoping request is received, as explained within Advice note three: Scoping opinion consultation (please see link below) the list has been expanded in very limited circumstances. The IPC's approach to scoping consultation (and in particular within the off shore environment) is kept under review and your comments are noted.
Should you wish to comment on an application, you will have the opportunity to become an interested party once an application has been accepted for examination. We therefore advise that you monitor our website, remaining updated on the status of projects you may be interested to comment upon.
