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.

Advice given
Thank you for your email informing us that the project is not in the parish area.
You may be aware however, that the Planning Inspectorate acts on behalf of the Secretary of State in examining applications for nationally significant infrastructure projects (NSIPs). As a part of the process, the Planning Inspectorate is under a duty to identify prescribed (statutory) consultees and inform them of any procedural decisions. Your Parish Council has been identified as one of the statutory parties for the above project. Procedural decisions which the Planning Inspectorate must therefore send to you as a statutory party include:
? Rule 6 letter ? an invitation to the Preliminary Meeting, draft timetable, appointment of Examining Authority;
? Rule 8 letter - final examination timetable,
? Rule 8(3) letter - changes to examination timetable (Rule 8(3) letter)
? Section 99 letter ? close of examination letter
Please note however, that is for you to decide whether you wish to respond to this correspondence or participate in the examination.
In the Rule 8 letter, the Examining Authority asks statutory parties whether they wish to become an interested party for the examination of the project. If you do not inform us that you wish to become an interested party within the deadline specified in the Rule 8 letter, you will not receive any more examination correspondence with exception to those listed above.
