Advice given
Thank you for your email with the summary of the sites and map that the J24 Action Group recommends for the Examining Authority (ExA) to visit during its site inspection on 3 February 2015. Your recommendations have been forwarded to the ExA for consideration. I would be grateful if you could please confirm whether you or/and any other members intend to attend that site visit on behalf of J24 Action Group. If a wish to attend is expressed, please could you confirm the number of attendees, providing the name and contact telephone number (mobile) of each individual by 23 January 2015. This information will be most helpful to enable the day to be effectively planned.
In terms of your email received yesterday (19:30pm) requesting that Deadline V of the examination timetable is extended to 2 April 2015, you should by now be aware from the latest correspondence from the Examining Authority that to accommodate requests made by interested parties, the ExA has extended Deadline V to 7 April 2015 (12 noon). The Rule 8 letter (including the final examination timetable) is available to view here:
attachment 1
Regarding the availability of hard copies documents in deposit locations, I apologise for any inconvenience caused. Please note however that our policy is limited to electronic deposit locations to avoid any additional costs that would otherwise be imposed on interested parties. We do however provide hard copies of any procedural letters issued by the ExA to interested parties to date, upon request. To ensure that everyone involved in the process of the nationally significant infrastructure projects has fair access to information at all time in the required format, we do select deposit locations carefully. In addition, when selecting potential locations we ensure that venues provide photocopying/printing facilities and that staff are able to offer assistance to members of local communities if needed. Internally, the project case team also ensures that all examination documents received for each examination deadline are published on the National Infrastructure portal project webpage as soon as is practicable. With regard to documentation referred to in your email, documentation submitted to the Planning Inspectorate on the 22 December 2015 is available to view on the project webpage from here:

I also suggest contacting developer with your request who may be able to provide you with a copy of their submission made on 22 December.
I hope this information is useful and please contact us if you have any more questions.
