I had a quick enquiry in respect of nationally significant infrastructure projects which I was hoping you may be able to assist with. I assume that in preparation of a planning application, a screening/scoping opinions must be submitted to the Inspectorates National Infrastructure team, but could you please confirm this? In addition, could you confirm whether this can be done as part of the pre-application process?

Advice given

Thank you for your email. We have published advice on elements of the EIA process during pre-application including screening and scoping, and to assist applicants in understanding the role of preliminary environmental information, which you may find helpful here.
