Enquiry

The last meeting note published on the PINS project website is from 7 May 2021. The note stated "Next meeting to be arranged between the Applicant and the Inspectorate for late June 2021" A few questions 1. Was there such a meeting in late June and/or any other meetings? 2. When did that/those meeting(s) take place? 3. When will the meeting notes from such meetings be published? Obviously it is important that this information is made publicly available as soon as possible given the strong public interest in ensuring such discussions are transparent. I look forward to hearing from you.

Advice given

Thank you for your email, and apologies for the delayed response. I can confirm that no further meetings have been held with the Applicant since the Friday 7 May 2021. Any meetings that are held with an Applicant have to have a note taken that is published as advice under s51 of the Planning Act 2008. The note is usually published a few weeks after the meeting takes place as it has to be signed off by various parties before publication. I am the Case Officer for the North Falls project, supporting Tracey Williams as the Case Manager. Please do not hesitate to contact us via the project mailbox if you have any further questions.
