The list below is a record of advice the Planning Inspectorate has provided in respect of the Planning Act 2008 process.
There is a statutory duty under section 51 of the Planning Act 2008 to record the advice that is given in relation to an application or a potential application and to make this publicly available. Advice we have provided is recorded below together with the name of the person or organisation who asked for the advice and the project it relates to. The privacy of any other personal information will be protected in accordance with our Information Charter which you should view before sending information to the Planning Inspectorate.
Note that after a project page has been created for a particular application, any advice provided that relates to it will also be published under the ‘s51 advice’ tab on the relevant project page.
Advice given between between 1 October 2009 and 14 April 2015 has been archived. View the archived advice.
Enquiry
I am writing to enquire about the possibility of late registration as interested party in regard to this application. I believe I have missed the deadline by a matter of days. I?m afraid I?m not familiar with the Inspectorate?s procedures and when I subscribed for updates I believed I had also registered. In fact, I?m still not certain that I haven?t, but think that probably this is something I still need to do. I would be very grateful to be allowed to register. Could you please advise me?
Advice given
The registration period to become an interested party for the Mynydd y Gwynt Wind Farm application elapsed on 17 October 2014. Unfortunately the Planning Inspectorate has no discretion to register members of the public retrospectively if they did not complete a valid registration form before this date.
Registering to become an interested party affords members of the public and organisations a legal status granting them the ability to formally put views across in writing via written submissions, or verbally at hearings. This is different to signing up for email updates via the project pages of the Planning Portal?s website, which sends emails advising of key milestones, publishing of key documents and notification of hearings and site visits for a specific project.
However, once appointed, the Examining Authority (ExA) has discretion to accept late submissions and submissions from non-interested parties as ?additional submissions?. If you wish to submit a written submission, please submit it to the Mynydd y Gwynt Case team on the details below. Please note there is no guarantee the ExA will accept your submission as part of it?s examination; neither would acceptance of your submission grant you interested party status.
You may attend the Preliminary Meeting if you wish, as well as any other public hearings that may be held during the examination. The examination timetable, arrangements of all the public hearings, as well as published submissions and documents will be available to view on the project pages of the Planning Portal?s website: attachment 1.
