Ms. Sheldon requested to register with the Planning Inspectorate as an interested party.
Advice given
The proposal by Navitus Bay Development Ltd for the Navitus Bay Wind Park is currently at the 'pre-application' stage of the process for making decisions on nationally significant infrastructure projects (NSIPs) under the Planning Act 2008 (as amended) regime.
The opportunity for persons to register to become an 'interested party' will not arise until any formal application has been submitted to the Planning Inspectorate and accepted to proceed to be examined. If the application is accepted to be examined, 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. Notification of this period will also appear on the Planning Inspectorate's project webpage, here: http://infrastructure.planningportal.gov.uk/projects/south-east/navitus-bay-wind-park-formerly-isle-of-wight/.
Based on current information, Navitus Bay Development Ltd anticipate submitting this application shortly. Until such time as the application is accepted to proceed to be examined by the Inspectorate, any views about the proposal should be directed to the developer (email: info@navitusbay.com tel. 01926671592).
The Planning Inspectorate has published a series of advice notes which explain the process, including information on how to get involved. 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.
