Query regarding the appropriate time to submit a written representation

The rule 4 and 6 letter, giving notice of the appointment of the Examining Authority (ExA), the ExA?s initial assessment of principle issues and the date on which the Preliminary Meeting will be held was issued to all statutory consultees and registered interested parties on 27 October 2014. This letter contains the ExA?s draft examination timetable for the Mynydd y Gwynt Wind Farm application and is provided at annex C, thereto.
Although the ExA has discretion to accept submissions during the ?pre-examination? stage, it would be more appropriate to submit your written representation once the examination has formally opened (following the close of the Preliminary meeting on 20 November 2014) i.e. Deadline I ? 18 December 2014.
Please note the examination timetable will be confirmed in the ExA?s next procedural decision, the rule 8 letter, as soon as practicable following the Preliminary Meeting. You will be able to view this letter on the project pages of the Planning Portal website once it has been issued: attachment 1.
