Query regarding the Issue Specific Hearings and how people can request to attend or speak. Ms Corrie also queried how people would know that they needed to submit a Written Representation or make a request to speak or attend a hearing.

Advice given

Anyone who wishes to attend or speak at a hearing will need to email with their request, however it is ultimately the decision of the Examining Authority. The timetable for the examination was sent to Interested Parties and has also been published on our website. The Planning Inspectorate notifies Interested Parties of hearing dates ahead of the hearings, explaining that those who wish to attend or speak must contact the Case Team at the Planning Inspectorate to let them know.

The process is predominantly a written process and it is important that Interested Parties do submit Written Representations. This is clearly shown on the examination timetable. The Examining Authority have re-iterated this recently at both the Preliminary Meeting and the Open-floor hearing.
