[Topic/Question] What if a proposal covers a number of local authorities - how do we need to work together? [Answer] 
The Planning Inspectorate encourages dialogue between local authorities affected by a Nationally Significant Infrastructure Project (NSIP). Ultimately, it is for the particular local authority to judge how best to respond to the Planning Inspectorate when notified of a NSIP proposal. However, if several local authorities are affected they may wish to discuss and co-ordinate representations and the content of Local Impact Reports, if this is the clearest and most effective means of conveying their views.
