Good morning,

I was hoping you could help me with a query concerning the statutory bodies listed in Schedule 1 of Infrastructure Planning Regulations 2009 (http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2009/2264/schedule/1/made). These are referenced in the Planning Inspectorate's advice note 7 https://infrastructure.planninginspectorate.gov.uk/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/Advice-note-7v4.pdf as being the statutory bodies which the Secretary of State would consult in developing a scoping opinion.

However, it seems some of these organisations are no longer in existence in the forms mentioned on this list (for example, the Commission for Architecture and the Built Environment having been merged into the Design Council, and the regional planning regime having been largely dismantled). Could you please confirm whether there is an updated list - or for example which bodies would be consulted on scoping requests related to transport infrastructure?

Many thanks

Cyngor a roddwyd

Dear Emma

Thank you for your email.

The Planning Inspectorates approach taken to identifying consultation bodies to be consulted on the scope of the Environmental Statement (ES) under Regulation 8 of the EIA Regulations is set out in Advice Note three: EIA consultation and notification which is available on the planning portal website. This advice note also identifies non-prescribed consultees where the Secretary of State will exercise judgement and may on a discretionary basis consult.

A number of bodies referred to in the original Infrastructure Planning (Applications: Prescribed Forms and Procedure Regulations) 2009 (as amended) have been subject to amendments including name changes. The Annexe to Advice Note three sets out the Planning Inspectorate’s interpretation of the prescribed consultation bodies which fall within the table in Schedule 1 of the APFP Regulations.

I trust this information is of assistance but if you have any further questions please do not hesitate to contact us.
