Dear Sirs I am trying to clarify procedure. If a local council gives planning permission for groundwork investigation related to a NIP and groundworks are clearly for a larger project should the local council reject the application? I presume the local council should follow the NPS? Kind regards Graham Fraley

Cyngor a roddwyd

Dear Mr Fraley, Thank you for your email. Whilst the Planning Inspectorate cannot comment on any Local Authority’s planning or decision, it might be that some of the groundwork currently being conducted could be part of survey work. If the works are in relation to a potential Nationally Significant Infrastructure Project (NSIP), providing your comments to the Local Authority may be considered as part of the Local Authority’s response on the project; if an application is submitted to the Planning Inspectorate. Please see this Advice Note on how the NSIP process is conducted. We would advise you to contact your Local Authority for further information on the current works and provide you with the relevant advice. Yours Sincerely, Paige Hall
