Enquiry
We?ve received correspondence through the post (to The Rural Communities Policy Unit, RDPE Network). Please could you clarify why you have sent it to us?
If the reason is that we are being consulted in lieu of the Commission for Rural Communities, I think you can remove us from your contact list, CRC no longer exists and RCPU is part of Defra.
I will forward to correspondence to Heeran Buhecha in Defra?s Major Infrastructure and Environment Unit for information (Heeran ? not sure whether you need to see it or not, but let us know!).
Advice given
The Rural Communities Policy Unit at DEFRA is listed as a prescribed consultee for this project. This means that we have a statutory duty to consult you in accordance with Section 42 of the Planning Act 2008 (the 2008 Act) and Schedule 1 of The Infrastructure Planning (Applications: Prescribed Forms and Procedure) Regulations 2009 (as amended) (the APFP Regulations).
Now you have received the Rule 8 letter (detailing how the application is to be examined), you should only receive one further letter from us, the Section 99 letter which confirms the closing of the examination period. If there is a change to the timetable as set out in the Rule 8 letter, you will also receive this letter.
Further information on the applicable planning legislation can be found on our website, please see the attached link: attachment 1
Please note this reply will be published as section 51 advice under the Planning Act 2008 on the project page of the Planning Portal.
I hope this response has been helpful.
