Advice given
Dear Mr Cooke
Thank you for your letter of 17 February 2015 and your offer of the village hall as a potential venue for the Issue Specific Hearing on 22 May 2015.
In accordance with the Infrastructure Planning (Examination Procedure) Rules 2010 Rule 13(5) The place at which a hearing is to be held shall be determined by the Examining authority in consultation with the applicant?.
When considering venues for an Issue Specific Hearing the Planning Inspectorate and Examining authority take into consideration several factors including: ease of access by public transport; the size of the room needed for the required layout of the hearing; the likely number of attendees; and the car parking requirements. In this instance, the use of the Portbury Village Hall is not considered appropriate for the above hearing, and an alternative venue which meets our requirements will be used. Details of the dates, times and venues of the Issue Specific and Compulsory Acquisition hearings will be provided to all Interested Parties in a letter issued by the Examining authority on or before Thursday 12 March 2015.
