Advice to Kent County Council

Enquiry

From
Kent County Council
Date advice given
13 December 2011
Enquiry type
Email

I have just received a letter from Vattenfall informing us that their application has been accepted and informing us of the 28 day period to make representations. As I have only just returned from leave and colleagues will be on leave from next week for Christmas, is it sufficient at this stage just to register our details and provide representations at a later date.

Perhaps you could let me know.

Advice given

As a statutory party Kent CC does not need to register to become an interested party - as the host authority of the proposed application it is an interested party in this application anyway. As such you will still be invited to make representations to the examination of the application whether or not you submit a representation at this stage or not.

However, if you were able to submit a summary of what you agree or disagree with on the application this would be very helpful to the Examining authority as they can then take this into account as part of its initial assessment of issues which it needs to publish within 21 days of the close of the relevant representation period. If you were able to use our on-line registration form for this purpose that would make it a lot easier for us in processing the information. Here's the link to the registration form: http://infrastructure.independent.gov.uk/projects/south-east/kentish-flats-extension/

I hope this answers your question but please feel free to get back to me if you require any further information or clarification.
