Advice given
Dear Mr Picton,
Thank you for your email of 20 January 2015.
The Steel Company of Wales (9 Nellive Park, St Brides Wentlooge, Newport, Gwent NP10 8SE) was listed in the Book of Reference by Tata Steel (the Applicant for the planning application for the Port Talbot Steelworks) under Category 3, as persons entitled to make a claim under Section 10 of the Compulsory Purchase Act 1965, Part 1 of the Land Compensation Act 1973 or s. 152(3) of the Planning Act 2008.
Section 57 of the Planning Act 2008 defines Category 3 as follows:
(4) A person is within Category 3 if the applicant thinks that, if the order sought by the application were to be made and fully implemented, the person would or might be entitled?
(a) as a result of the implementing of the order,
(b) as a result of the order having been implemented, or
(c) as a result of use of the land once the order has been implemented,
to make a relevant claim.
This is subject to subsection (5).
(5) A person is within Category 3 only if the person is known to the applicant after making diligent inquiry
Therefore, we have an obligation to send correspondence to all addresses listed in the Book of Reference during the examination stage, and none of these can be removed.
We apologise for any inconvenience, and advise that you are under no obligation to take part in the examination of this application. If however you do decide to attend hearings, or engage in the examination process in any way or require further information at any time, please contact us.
Thank you
