Has another request for info been issued by the PI recently on the Norwich to Tilbury Pylons please. Another village has sent me a copy of a reponse they have sent to Briston but Aldham Parish Council in Essex have not seen it – im wondering if it has gone to Suffolk again?

The Planning Inspectorate has not issued any further consultation letters since the statutory scoping notification and consultation exercise, undertaken in November/ December 2022. We are aware the Applicant is currently undertaking a public consultation, which may be what the other village has responded to. The consultation runs from Tuesday 27 June until Monday 21 August 2023. As this consultation exercise is being run by the Applicant, we do not hold details of the bodies the Applicant has contacted; however when the Scoping Opinion was adopted in December 2022 we provided the Applicant with a list of the consultation bodies notified by the Planning Inspectorate and their contact details, as required by the Infrastructure Planning (Environmental Impact Assessment) Regulations 2017. This list included the contact details for Aldham Parish Council in Essex. In any case, we would encourage Aldham Parish Council to review the Applicant’s consultation materials and submit any response via the Applicant’s feedback form (available at the link above), or via the Applicant’s project email address: [email protected]. The Planning Inspectorate has published a series of advice notes that you may also find useful, which are available on the National Infrastructure Planning website. In particular, Advice Note Eight provides an overview of the planning process for Nationally Significant Infrastructure Projects and the various opportunities for you to participate in the process, including Advice Note 8.2 about how to register to participate in an Examination.
