Enquiry
General enquiry about elements of the examination - Examining Authority questions, conduct at hearings, issue of draft Development Consent Order, scope of consent available
Advice given
Any interested party may answer any of the questions posed by the Examining Authority (ExA).
Interested parties registered in advance will be able to participate at issue specific hearings and will be afforded the ability to contribute throughout the agenda, subject to the control of the ExA.
A draft Development Consent Order may be issued by the ExA in order to provide interested parties the opportunity to comment on material that may be recommended to the Secretary of State (SoS). Multiple variations may be provided for comment, or material may be recommended to the SoS that has been subject to consultation at a different occassion during the examination.
The ExA may not recommend to the SoS a scheme which is larger than that applied for, nor one which is sufficiently dissimilar to be considered a different scheme. These restrictions are caused by the requirement for consultation and the processes for compulsory acquisition. This does allow scope for minor changes or partial consent as well as full consent or recommended refusal .
