If you have already made represetation, you have three options available to you during the Examination process:
- If you are content to rely on your original representations and do not intend to provide any further written comments or participate in the hearing discussions there is no need for you to do anything further. The Inspector will take your submitted comments into consideration when preparing his report in so far as they relate to soundness and legal compliance considerations.
- If having considered the Inspector’s Matters, Issues and Questions you feel you would like to make further written comments but do not wish to participate in the hearing sessions, you may do so. The submission of further written statements must specifically focus upon the relevant Matters and Questions the Inspector has identified in accordance with your representations. Unless specifically requested, the Inspector will not now accept further material beyond his intended Matters for discussion or in relation to elements of the Plan that you have not commented upon previously. The deadline for submission of written statements is 5pm on Friday 17th May 2019. Please note that this deadline applies to both the provision of hard copy and electronic statement submissions.
- Should you wish to participate within a specific hearing session please let Ian Kemp know by 5pm on 17th May 2019. After which time the participants list and Programme will be finalised ahead of the hearings. Representors requesting to speak during the hearing sessions are also welcome to supply additional written statements should they wish to in accordance with the guidance and deadline.
