Comments were made in relation to the procedural decision taken by the Examining Authority on 4 September 2014. The Examining Authority has not yet taken a view as to whether to accept this representation. Comments were also made in relation to the draft Statement of Common Ground (SoCG) submitted by the applicant, the Case Team have offered advice in relation to this point.

Thank you for your email. A number of the points raised in your email relate to examination issues for which I am unable to comment. However in relation to the removal of the SoCG from the Planning Inspectorate website. This document has been submitted into the examination and therefore cannot be deleted. Furthermore, should this document be removed, the request would have to come from the Applicant who submitted the document and the Examining Authority would have to consider this request.
