General
Enquiry
Having now had the opportunity to review the re-aligned boundaries we are concerned that there is land identified (significant amounts) outside of the original NSIP boundary. Clearly this is being utilised for non-infrastructure purposes (eg land inside the Nissan MUK plant).
Can you confirm that the revised plan which has been signed off includes more land that that shown on the original NSIP? Could you also clarify the instances where greater land take is acceptable.
Advice given
As you will be aware, the International Advanced Manufacturing Park Area Action Plan was adopted in November 2017, you may find this link helpful: attachment 1 The Inspector’s final report on page 3 refers to ‘Allocation of 150ha (instead of 100ha) of employment land and deletion of proposed safeguarded land’.
As the IAMP Two Nationally Significant Infrastructure Project (NSIP) application has yet to be submitted, the Applicant will need to ensure they undertake adequate statutory pre-application consultation on the proposal, in accordance with the Planning Act 2008 (as amended) and associated guidance. During this pre-application phase, I recommend that you contact the Applicant directly to discuss the details of their proposals, to ensure they are aware of any comments you may have, prior to submission.
