Cyngor a roddwyd

Dear Mr Lee As part of the DCO process, in accordance with s47(6)(za) of the Planning Act 2008 (PA2008) a developer of a National Significant Infrastructure Project must produce a Statement of Community Consultation (SoCC) which should be made available for inspection by the public in a way that is reasonably convenient for people living in the vicinity of the land. The SoCC must describe the project and explain where to view documents and information about the proposed development, such as plans and other consultation material. Developers are also required to publish a notice of this information in a local and a national newspaper. If you are referring to a specific project, then depending on the stage of where this is at you may be able to contact the developer and ask for copies of documents to be provided however please note there may be a charge associated with this. For further information on the process for members of the public and others, please see Advice note 8: https://infrastructure.planninginspectorate.gov.uk/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/Advice-note-8.0.pdf
