Statement of Community Consultation (S47) (Text)

The River Humber Gas Pipeline Replacement Project Statement of Community Consultation (SOCC) notice

On 22 September 2014 National Grid will be launching the statutory stage of public consultation on the replacement of the existing high-pressure natural gas transmission pipeline beneath the River Humber (‘the River Humber Gas Pipeline Replacement Project’), where local communities will be able to find out more and give us their views. The consultation will run until 31 October 2014 and National Grid will accept feedback, in writing, until this date.

Public Exhibitions: We will be holding a series of public exhibitions at the following venues:

Date and Time Exhibition Venue Thursday 25 September 2014, 3pm-7pm Paull Village Hall Main Street, Paull, Nr Hull, East Yorkshire HU12 8AW Friday 26 September 2014, 3pm-7pm East Halton Village Hall Townside, East Halton, DN40 3NS Saturday 27 September 2014, 12pm-4pm Goxhill Memorial Hall Chapel Street, Goxhill DN19 7JJ

THE PROPOSAL National Grid Gas plc (“National Grid”) of 1 – 3 Strand, London WC2N 5EH intends to apply to the Secretary of State under section 37 of the Planning Act 2008 (the Act) for a Development Consent Order (DCO) to authorise the River Humber Gas Pipeline Replacement Project. The project involves the construction of a replacement gas pipeline in a new tunnel beneath the River Humber, between the existing above ground installations near to Paull, on the north bank of the Humber, and Goxhill, on the south bank. The proposed DCO will, amongst other things, authorise: i. The construction of a 5.4km high-pressure gas pipeline up to 1220mm in diameter connecting the existing above-ground installations at Goxhill and Paull, comprised of approximately 5km of pipeline in a tunnel under the River Humber and 400m of onshore pipeline laid by trenched or trenchless methods; ii. Modifications to the existing above-ground installation at Paull; iii. Construction of two cathodic protection facilities and two pipeline monitoring facilities; iv. Associated works for permanent and temporary accesses, highways works, drainage works, temporary construction compounds, temporary spoil storage, temporary lay-down and work areas and ancillary works.

PUBLIC CONSULTATION Listening to communities and gathering their feedback on our proposals is an extremely important part of the project. The aim of our consultation is to ensure that local communities have a chance to understand and influence the proposals. Under section 47 of the Planning Act 2008 we have a duty to consult the local community in accordance with our Statement of Community Consultation (SOCC). The SOCC explains how, when and where we will consult on the project and how feedback can be given.

The SOCC is also available to view online on our project website at www.riverhumberpipeline.com The project is an Environmental Impact Assessment development and so will be accompanied by an Environmental Statement. Accordingly, we are also consulting on preliminary environmental information. A paper copy of the SOCC can also be provided free of charge. Copies of the documents, plans, maps and PEIR can be obtained from National Grid (details below) at a reasonable charge for

copying of up to £150 for a full set of hard copy documents or free of charge on DVD or from the project website.
