1. Appendix E: Stakeholders for wildfire planning

In order to inform a project or EIA opinion (or consent), the following stakeholder organisations and groups should be considered when seeking views and gathering evidence:

  • Fire and Rescue Services (who are acting on behalf of the Fire and Rescue Authority)
  • Local Authority/s (the Emergency Planning Officer) who will advise on their ‘Community Risk Register’, which will define the level of wildfire risk and state control measures
  • Representatives of Local Wildfire Groups, where they exist
  • Adjacent landowners and/or land managers, including tenants
  • Adjacent residential and business property owners
  • Owners of national infrastructure or other assets that could be adversely impacted upon by a wildfire from/to the site (e.g. Highways England, Utility Companies, Airport companies, National Health Service, Network Rail, etc.)
  • Representative/s of the Local Resilience Forums, defined by its chairperson, using their Community Risk Register to define wildfire risk and control measures in hazard ‘H58 Severe Wildfire’. Not all LRFs hold information on wildfire
