Representation ID: 10296

Received: 23/11/2022

Respondent: The Coal Authority

Representation Summary:

The Coal Authority is a non-departmental public body sponsored by the Department of Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy. As a statutory consultee, the Coal Authority has a duty to respond to planning applications and development plans in order to protect the public and the environment in mining areas.

As North Herts Council lies outside the defined coalfield, the Coal Authority has no specific comments to make on any stages of your Local Plan process.

In the spirit of ensuring efficiency of resources and proportionality, it will not be necessary for the Council to provide the Coal Authority with any future drafts or updates to the emerging Plans. This email can be used as evidence for the legal and procedural consultation requirements at examination, if necessary.
