Enquiry
The Planning Inspectorate provided advice to local planning authority on submission made at relevant representation stage.
Advice given
The legislation is quite prescriptive about what constitutes a relevant representation. One of the defining characteristics is that the representation is made on the prescribed form. Your submission was not made on the form, however, your local authority is a prescribed consultee and as such this only means that we will ask you to confirm your status as an interested party at a later date, as explained below.
Your submissions, as made on 3rd November, will be made available to the Examining Authority (ExA) who we expect to be appointed shortly. They will have an opportunity to consider the points you have raised when undertaking their initial assessment of the principal issues, ahead of the Preliminary Meeting, which you will be invited to.
Once appointed, the ExA will issue the letter containing the draft examination timetable and will invite all interested parties and prescribed consultees to attend the Preliminary Meeting. This letter will also ask you to confirm your status as an interested party.
Following the Preliminary Meeting, the ExA will issue its final examination timetable setting out deadlines for submissions of detailed representations and dates for other potential examination events.
Meanwhile, you may find it helpful to follow the project website, available from the link below, in order to keep up to date with the progress of the application process.
