Bishops Tachbrook Area Designation

I received an email on 20 July 2012, seeking comments on the application by Bishop's Tachbrook Parish Council for designation of a Neighbourhood Plan Area.

The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) is a statutory consultee for certain developments within the consultation distance of major hazard sites and major accident hazard pipelines.
Within the area identified in the Neighbourhood Plan Area for Bishop's Tachbrook, there is a major accident hazard pipeline operated by National Grid Gas plc (Ref. 1453 - Feeder 14 Churchover/Wormington).
HSE should be consulted over any relevant developments which lie within 210 metres either side of this pipeline, and the following consultation zones apply to this pipeline:
Inner zone = 55 metres
Middle zone = 170 metres
Outer zone = 210 metres
Warwick District Council should have details of the pipeline route, as the pipeline operator is required to provided these to the relevant local authorities for emergency planning purposes.

When potential development sites are identified, if any of them lie within the above consultation distance, Warwick District Council can use PADHI+, HSE's on-line decision support software tool, to see how HSE would advise on any proposed development.
