On ploughing through the Application it seems there may be information on which a Written Rep. should be made notwithstanding that the topic was not specifically identified and therefore mentioned at the time when Relevant Reps were made. Does the process allow for this to happen at the WR stage?

Advice given

A written representation is a more detailed representation, supported with relevant information and evidence and is not constrained by the topic you identified in your relevant representations. The purpose of written representations is to provide the Examining Authority with submissions and evidence regarding issues which are important and relevant to the consideration of the application. You may provide as much or as little detail as you wish in your written representation, but a representation is more likely to carry weight with the Examining Authority if it is specific and supported by evidence.
