HSE is a statutory consultee on all relevant proposed developments in the vicinity of hazardous installations and major accident hazard pipelines. Since 2007 HSE's advice to local planning authorities has been delivered by an on-line service called PADHI+. However, HSE's Planning Advice Web App expands on that by providing advice to those seeking to develop land as well as to the local planning authorities.
