Another statutory consultee, the Wales Resilience Forum, contacted us to say that they don't wish to be consulted. Did you receive any similar correspondence from them when you sent the Reg 9 notification?
The Wales Resilience Forum/ Head of Emergencies & Security Branch (both the same on the list but according to the email it looks like they're seperate entities) was the address provided by the IPC for the 'Relevant Local Resilience Forum'. Please note that when we made enquiries about the appropriate person to consult in this category, we concluded that it should be the Dyfed LRF Partnership Team- also on the Reg 9 list. We did, of course, write to both.

Thank you for informing us about the response you received dated 23 March 2011 from the Welsh Assembly Government (WAG) in relation to the Wales Resilience Forum and the Head of Emergencies and Security.
We have considered this matter further and conclude that neither the Wales Resilience Forum nor the Head of Emergencies and Security is a 'relevant local resilience forum' . Hence, neither is a prescribed consultee for the purposes of s.42(1)(a) of the Planning Act 2008 and Regulation 3 of the Infrastructure Planning (Applications Prescribed Forms and Procedures) Regulations 2009, nor is either a consultation body for the purposes of Regulation 2(1) of the Infrastructure Planning (Environmental Impact Assessment) Regulations 2009. We will be amending our 'Regulation 9 consultee list' accordingly.
In light of the response from WAG we are not presently proposing to consult either the Wales Resilience Forum nor the Head of Emergencies and Security on a non-statutory basis. In any event, we note that 'the Welsh Ministers' are a consultee for both s.42 and any EIA scoping consultation. Therefore, any comments that either the Wales Resilience Forum or the Head of Emergencies and Security might wish to make in future could be made in response to any further s.42/ EIA scoping consultation of the Welsh Ministers.
