Enquiry
S51 advice following the acceptance of a late submission for Deadline II - 18 December 2014.
Advice given
We refer to your late submission for Deadline II received on 6 January 2015 and accepted by the Examining Authority (ExA) on 7 January 2015. The ExA is under a duty to complete the examination of the application by the end of the period of 6 months, i.e. 20 May 2015.
In addition to the timetable set out in the ExA?s Rule 8 letter dated 27 November 2014 please note that the ExA may at any time before the completion of its examination of an application or specified matters request further information or written comments from an Interested Party, who may supply such information by the date and in the manner specified by the ExA. In this instance the ExA has used his discretion to accept your submission and allow all Interested Parties the opportunity to comment thereon by Deadline III, 19 January 2015.
Submissions or publication may be made on or before the identified dates in the timetable (or any published revised timetable). The submission dates are those by which the Planning Inspectorate must receive submissions.
Late submissions prejudice all Parties and the delivery of a proper examination. It is in every Party?s interests that all submission stages are followed and engaged with constructively. We draw your attention to the costs guidance, which can be found at the following link:
attachment 1
In writing, whilst appreciating the difficulties you have experienced in accessing relevant information in respect of the application, we underline the importance of meeting the deadlines during the examination of the Mynydd y Gwynt wind farm application. In the event that any new submissions are made on which the ExA is unable to invite responses before the examination deadline, the ExA may not be able to accept or be in a position to give full weight to those submissions.
