Enquiry
Sir, I would like to add to the request that the planning application for this solar development should be re-examined in public.
Advice given
Dear Mr Wood Many thanks for your below email concerning the proposed Botley West Solar Farm project. Please note that this project is currently at the Pre-application stage of the Planning Act 2008 process. This means that the developer’s application for a Development Consent Order has not yet been submitted to the Planning Inspectorate. Once the developer has finalised its application and submitted it to the Planning Inspectorate, the Inspectorate will have 28 days to decide whether the application is of a suitable standard to be examined. If the application is accepted for examination, there will be a six-month examination period, in advance of which you will be able to register as an Interested Party by submitting a Relevant Representation comprising your views on the proposed development. This must be submitted on the ‘Registration and Relevant Representation form’ which will be made available on the project webpage of the National Infrastructure Planning website at the appropriate time. Further information about the process can be found in the following link to the National Infrastructure Planning website: attachment 1.
