13 )The proposed development is within the consultation distance of a major hazard pipeline. You are advised to contact the pipeline operator before commencing development. There are two reasons for this: The operator may have a legal interest (easement, wayleave etc..)in the vicinity of the pipeline. This may restrict certain developments within a certain proximity of the pipeline. The standards to which the pipe line is designed and operated may restrict occupied buildings of major traffic routes within a certain proximity of the pipeline. Consequently, there may be a need for the operator to modify the pipeline, or its operation, if the development proceeds.The proposed development is within the consultation distance of a major hazard pipeline.
