Mr. Declan Burke:

Yes, very much so. As part of locating any infrastructure, be it through the planning process or whether it is exempted, there is a discussion with the local authority and area engineers. There is also a discussion with the residents or businesses in the area. As part of the process, GNI is required to apply to the local authority for a road opening licence. An exempted development does not mean that the installation will just be installed because we also need to connect to existing infrastructure, including the ancillary pipelines, to bring gas into a unit. It is very much a consultative process that looks at risks, the environmental surrounding, aesthetics etc.
