The list below is a record of advice the Planning Inspectorate has provided in respect of the Planning Act 2008 process.
There is a statutory duty under section 51 of the Planning Act 2008 to record the advice that is given in relation to an application or a potential application and to make this publicly available. Advice we have provided is recorded below together with the name of the person or organisation who asked for the advice and the project it relates to. The privacy of any other personal information will be protected in accordance with our Information Charter which you should view before sending information to the Planning Inspectorate.

Enquiry
The Equality and Human Rights Commission requested if they could be removed from the Hinkley Point C mailing lists as information regarding planning applications does not fit with the type of work carried out by the organisation.
Advice given
I can confirm that we have removed the Equality and Human Rights Commission from the Hinkley Point C mailing list. Your Interested Party status however remains active if you wish to participate in any future part of the process for the above application.
Please be aware that the Equality and Human Rights Commission is listed as a prescribed consultee under the relevant planning legislation. This means we have a statutory obligation to consult EHRC regarding all National Significant Infrastructure Project (NSIP) applications likely to affect land in England and Wales during their pre-application and initial stages.
Once you have received our Rule 4 / 6 letter (detailing the appointment of the Examining authority and how to be become involved in the process) and Rule 8 letter (detailing how the application is to be examined) for each application, you will only receive further correspondence if you notify us of your wish to become an Interested Party or make a relevant representation during the registration period.
Further information on the applicable planning legislation can be found on our website. A link to the relevant section is provided below.
