The Examination of the IERRT project has now closed.
The IERRT application is currently with the Secretary of State for Transport for consideration and determination.
The deadline for a decision on the IERRT application is now 4 October 2024.
On 24 May 2024, the Secretary of State issued a Written Ministerial Statement which extended the original deadline for the IERRT application until 4 October 2024, due to the General Election and to allow appropriate time for any new Secretary of State to consider the application. The Written Ministerial Statement is available at: https://questions-statements.parliament.uk/written-statements/detail/2024-05-24/hcws506.
ABP’s application for a Development Consent Order (‘DCO’) for the IERRT project has now been accepted for Examination by the Planning Inspectorate, acting on behalf of the Secretary of State of Transport.
In February 2023, we submitted our application to the Planning Inspectorate for their consideration, and we now have confirmation that the application has been accepted as validated. The IERRT project is, therefore, now entering a new phase of the DCO application processes, known as the ‘Pre-Examination’ phase.
All the application documents are available to view and download free of charge online on the Planning Inspectorate dedicated website at: https://infrastructure.planninginspectorate.gov.uk/projects/yorkshire-and-the-humber/immingham-eastern-ro-ro-terminal.
We have prepared a Newsletter - which can be accessed here - which provides more information about the application process, next steps, how you can view the application documents on the Planning Inspectorate’s dedicated website and how you can order paper copies (subject to charge) or copies on a USB stick from us.
Updates on the Examination of the IERRT project will be posted on this website going forward.
We will continue to host copies of the consultation documents, from both rounds of statutory consultation on the IERRT undertaken in 2022, which you can access using the following link: https://www.abports.co.uk/immroro/consultation/2022-consultation-details.
Thank you for your interest in the IERRT.
