Subsequent consultation letter sent on 4 January 2018

South Northamptonshire Council (2 February) Dear Sir

Application P/2016/0059/PRH

Proposal Nationally Significant Infrastructure Project - Development of a Strategic Rail Freight Interchange to provide up to 687,000 sq m (7,400,000 sq ft) of storage and distribution buildings with ancillary office accommodation, rail infrastructure (to include new sidings), service depot, HGV facilities, hotel and public house/restaurant, associated access, ground works, highways, landscaping and other accompanying works.

Location Land at Arm Farm

Consultation on draft Statement of Community Consultation - updated draft version for statutory consultation.

I refer to the consultation regarding the proposed revision to the Statement of Community Consultation for this proposed nationally significant infrastructure project which comprises the Statement of Community Consultation Updated draft version for statutory consultation document received on 4 January 2018.

I note this is similar to the revised Statement of Community Consultation the Council considered in July 2017 with amendments to reflect the revised timing for the period of statutory consultation.

The intention to undertake the statutory consultation with Local Authorities, Statutory Undertakers and also with the public during the period from Thursday 15 March until Monday 23 April 2018 is noted; as are the proposed venues, dates and timings of public events and the locations where full consultation materials will be available to view and of the local information points where a limited range of consultation materials will be available.

One issue which the Council will have to resolve given the proposed timing is that this will effectively allow a period of only two weeks in which to prepare a response to the consultation; this is unlikely to be sufficient to prepare a full considered response. It is the normal practice of the Council for consultations on major development proposals to be considered by Councillors on the Planning Committee to ensure transparency. Given the timing proposed the only opportunity for Planning Committee to consider the response would be 12 April; the date of the next scheduled Planning Committee is 17th May. Reports must be published one week before the date of the meeting, in this case by 5 April, and the final report must be ready a day or so before the publication date.

The Council notes the reference to the programme of highway mitigation works and to the intention to provide full details of these as part of statutory consultation materials; this should include details of the Transport Assessment.

Yours faithfully,

Denis Winterbottom Principal Planning Officer Development Management

Northamptonshire County Council
