Enquiry
Can you confirm whether the CA Hearings will allow for a discussion into availability of funding. If so, could you say which day that hearing would take place?
Would it be possible to have a list of the additional information that PINS requested of NCC at the hearings last week?
When is the deadline should we wish to respond to this additional information?
When the Examiners has filed their report, can you confirm which Ministries look at the recommendation and who has the final decision. Is it just DoT or also Department of Communities and Local Government?
Advice given
The first day of the compulsory acquisition hearings (Tuesday 30 September) will cover general considerations such as the likelihood of funding being available to complete the scheme. We will be publishing more detailed agendas for the hearings by the end of the week.
The Planning Inspectorate do not make notes of the meetings (although our Examining Authority will have their own notes) as a full audio recording is published. Therefore I do not have a definitive list of the material requested available.
Deadline 8 (Thursday 9 October) seems to be a reasonable time to respond to information provided at Deadline 7 (Monday 29 September).
This decision will be made by the Secretary of State for Transport (or another DfT minister on their behalf). DCLG is responsible for process, but only makes decisions on schemes which are relevant to their department.
