Advice given

This application is currently at the Acceptance stage of the Planning Act 2008 process. A decision whether or not to accept the application for examination must be made by 8 May 2014.

If the application is accepted to be examined, the application documents will be published on the Navitus Bay project pages of the website, which can be found at the following address: http://infrastructure.planningportal.gov.uk/projects/south-east/navitus-bay-wind-park/?ipcsection=overview

Also, following a successful acceptance, the developer will be required to advertise in local and national press the period within which anybody will be able to make a 'relevant representation' and register to become an interested party. These representations will be also be published on our website following the deadline for registration.

The Planning Inspectorate has published a series of advice notes which you may find useful in understanding our process. These are available at the following address: http://infrastructure.planningportal.gov.uk/legislation-and-advice/advice-notes/. I would draw your attention in particular to advice notes 8.1 through 8.5.
