Enquiry
I would like you to reconsider the proposal for the EAST MIDLANDS GATEWAY SCHEME.
It truly will be a disaster for the surrounding villages to build such a big site on a green belt site. We have quite enough industrial sites in the surrounding villages.
As it is, without adding to more?????? It would be such a shame to spoil (FOREVER) such a large chunk of GREEN BELT LAND enjoyed by so many people? SO I BEG YOU TO STOP this proposal.
Advice given
As you are likely aware, on 19 September 2014 the Planning Inspectorate (on behalf of the Secretary of State) made its decision that the application by Roxhill (Kegworth) Ltd was of a satisfactory standard to proceed to be examined.
Importantly, the Inspectorate?s decision to accept the application to be examined did not comprise any consideration of the merits of the application. These issues will be tested in detail by an appointed Examining Authority at the appropriate time.
The examination of the application cannot commence until a ?relevant representations? period has elapsed; a minimum period of 28 days within which anybody can register to become and ?interested party?, enabling them to make written and oral representations about the application throughout the six month examination period.
The applicant advertised the acceptance of the application today (26 September 2014), and the relevant representations period for the application period opened concurrently. In order for the comments comprised within your email to be considered by an Examining Authority, once appointed, I must request that you register as an interested party as described above. The comments comprised within your email concerning the merits of the application should be repeated on the appropriate prescribed form. The form is available by clicking the following link:

Please be aware that the deadline for making a relevant representation is 3 November 2014. For more information on how to register as an interested party please read the Inspectorate?s associated advice note (Advice note 8.3: How to register and become an interested part in an examination), available here:

The Inspectorate has also produced a short film explaining the process from end-to-end, available here:
