Regulation 9 Further information and evidence relating to environmental statements
The Crown Estate Commissioners, when dealing with an application in relation to which an environmental statement has been provided, may in writing require the applicant to provide such further information as may be specified to enable the application to be determined, or concerning any matter which is required to be dealt with in the environmental statement; and where in the opinion of the Crown Estate Commissioners—
the applicant could (having regard in particular to current knowledge and methods of assessment) provide further information about any matter mentioned in paragraph 3 of Schedule 1; and
that further information is reasonably required to give proper consideration to the likely environmental effects of the proposed development,
they shall notify the applicant in writing and the applicant shall provide that further information.
The Crown Estate Commissioners may in writing require to be produced to them such evidence, in respect of any environmental statement which it falls to them to take into consideration, as they may reasonably call for to verify any information it contains.
