Advice given on the relevant representation process
Advice given
As you are aware the application is currently at the pre-examination stage, during its relevant representation period that closes on 6 January 2013.
The purpose of the relevant representation is to make a summary of issues on whether you agree or disagree with the proposed application. In order for a representation to be a relevant representation it must be made on the prescribed form as per Regulation 4 of the Infrastructure Planning (Interested Parties) Regulations 2010 (as amended).
We strongly recommend that you use the form now to make a relevant representation so that your views can be taken account of by the Examining Authority (ExA) when making the initial assessment of the principal issues and preparing the draft examination timetable. This will be following the ExA's appointment, shortly after the close of the relevant representation registration period. Using the form will also ensure that we have the correct contact details for EH on our database from an early stage.
Please note, however, that as a statutory party listed in Schedule 1 of the Infrastructure Planning (Applications: Prescribed Forms and Procedures) Regulations 2009, the ExA (when appointed) will invite you to attend the Preliminary Meeting. Moreover, in accordance with s89(2A)(b) of the Act, following the meeting you will have an opportunity to notify the ExA in writing that you wish to become an Interested Party if you have not made a relevant representation on the prescribed form. All prescribed consultees will be given this opportunity.
Please may I therefore suggest that you re-register and submit the content of your letter by filling in the relevant representation form via link below:
I hope that is helpful, please do not hesitate to contact me should you have any questions.
