Advice to local planning authority on getting involved in the examination of the application

Advice given

Please note that Lancashire County Council has been identified as a relevant local authority ?D? as defined under the Planning Act 2008 (as amended) who shares a boundary with an upper tier county council within whose area the land for the proposed development is situated.

The letter dated 18 February 2014 was an invitation to the Preliminary Meeting on 13 March 2013. The purpose of that meeting is for the ExA to discuss the draft timetable for the examination of the application with the parties present at the meeting. Please note that following the meeting, Lancashire County Council will also receive a letter from the ExA informing of the final timetable for the examination, known as the Rule 8 letter.

I note that Lancaster County Council did not submit a relevant representation for the deadline 6 January 2014, therefore you won?t be receiving any correspondence about the application following the Rule 8 letter. Please note that should you wish to receive further correspondence following the Rule 8 and/or take a part in the examination, you will be given further opportunity to register by notifying the ExA within the deadline set in the Rule 8 letter.

I would be grateful if you could confirm on or by 6 March 2014 whether Lancashire County Council wishes to attend the meeting on 13 March 2014.
