Your planning application – No objection

After receiving the details of your planning application at Parkfield House we have completed our assessment. We have no objection to your proposal from a planning perspective.

What you need to do

Please review our attached plans, which detail the Cadent gas asset/s in the area. If your application affects one of our high pressure pipelines, it is a statutory requirement that you input the details into the HSE’s Planning Advice Web App. For further details, visit www.hse.gov.uk/landuseplanning/planning-advice-web-app.htm

The HSE may wish to apply more stringent criteria for building proximity after assessment. Please ensure that you formally consult with them before you proceed.

In order to help prevent damage to our asset/s, please add the following Informative Note into the Decision Notice:

Cadent Gas Ltd own and operate the gas infrastructure within the area of your development. Prior to carrying out works, please register on www.linesearchbeforeudig.co.uk to submit details of the planned works for review, ensuring requirements are adhered to.

The original holding objection was triggered due to the presence of a High Pressure Major Accident Hazard Pipeline (MAHP)

The minimum building proximity distance (BPD) for the pipelines and associated installations is as follows:

  • Warthfold – Middleton has a 8 metre building proximity distance

The building proximity distance taken from The Institution of Gas Engineers and Managers publication IGEM/TD/1 Edition 5 which is the standard applicable to steel pipelines and associated installations for high pressure gas transmission and IGEM/TD/3 Edition 5 Steel and PE pipelines for gas distribution
