None. The Preesall Underground Gas Storage Facility development consent order application was redetermined by way of a written representation procedure pursuant to Rule 20(2) of the Infrastructure Planning (Examination Procedure) Rules 2010. All representations received under the 2010 Rules or otherwise were taken into account in the decision to grant development consent.
