During a meeting on Tuesday 3rd December 2013 I had with Forewind in Haugesund, Norway, I found that I have missed the deadline to register my interest for relevant representation in Dogger Bank Creyke Beck. I hope it may still be possible register.
Advice given
Thank you for your email in relation to the proposed Dogger Bank Creyke Beck application by Forewind which has recently been accepted for examination in accordance with the Planning Act 2008.
I can confirm the deadline for registering as an Interested Party ended on 8 November 2013 however you may write to us at the Planning Inspectorate setting out the issues you wish to put before the Examining Authority. Please ensure your representation relates specifically to the application and explain what you agree and/or disagree with and why, upon receipt the Examining Authority will consider whether to exercise their discretion and accept your submission into the examination. It should be noted however, if the Examining Authority agree to accept your submission, we will still be unable to give you an Interested Party status as you will have no legal entitlement to participate like a party who has registered within the statutory time limit.
You may also wish to note that under Regulation 24 of the Environmental Impact Regulations 2009, we have written to the Norwegian Ministry of Environment Department (Regional Sector for Impact Assessment and Community Development) addressed to Mr Jørgen Brun and Mr Harold Noreik inviting them to participate in the examination of Dogger Bank Creyke Beck so you may wish to contact that department with any comments you have about the proposed development. A copy of Advice Note 12 on 'Development with significant Transboundary consultation' may be of use to you and can be accessed at the following link;

Parties who have not registered as an interested party can also consider grouping together with an individual or organisation which has already registered and become an interested party, where they have similar views to your own, so that they can express your views on your behalf. A list of the registered interested parties can be found at the following link;
If you choose to do this, you may also wish to ask this person or organisation to keep you informed regarding the progress of the application, as the Examining Authority only writes directly to interested parties about the progress of the application although you will also be able to track the progress by monitoring the project web page which you will be able to access at the following link;
Should you decide to submit your late representation, please send this to DBCreykeBeck@infrastructure.gsi.gov.uk.
If you have any further queries on the above or any other matter, please do not hesitate to contact me
