Telephone enquiry requesting advice on Statements of Common Ground.

Apologies for the delay in getting back to you with further advice on Statements of Common Ground following on from our telephone conversation on 23 February 2012. The term ?statement of common ground? is defined in secondary legislation, known as the 'Examination Rules', which at para 2 defines it as "a written statement prepared jointly by the applicant
and any interested party, which contains agreed factual information about the application": attachment 1
Guidance on Statements of Common Ground is provided within the CLG Guidance on examinations at para 63 onwards: attachment 2
An example of a SOCG from the examination of the Rookery South Energy from Waste facility is available here: attachment 3. As discussed, there is no set format for a SOCG so this should be seen as just one way of presenting such a document.
