Advice given on the relevant representation process
Advice given
I note that you do not wish to make any comments about the application at this stage.
Please note that, the purpose of the relevant representation is to make a summary of issues on whether you agree or disagree with the proposed application. Moreover, for such a representation to be a relevant representation it must be made on the prescribed form and it must include comments about the proposed application as per Regulation 4 of the Infrastructure Planning (Interested Parties) Regulations 2010 (as amended).
Yorkshire Dales National Park Authority has been identified as a relevant authority ?D? for the project, who shares the boundary with an upper tier county council ?C? (within whose area the land is situated).
The ExA (when appointed) will therefore invite you to attend the Preliminary Meeting. Moreover, following the meeting, the ExA will provide you with an opportunity to notify the ExA in writing that you wish to become an Interested Party ?IP?. All local authorities and statutory parties will be given this opportunity.
Local authorities play vital role in the process of the Nationally Significant Infrastructure Projects (NSIPs) by representing their local communities and providing a valuable knowledge about their local area.
We therefore strongly encourage you to use the opportunity and become an IP following the Preliminary Meeting in order to participate in the process. All the representations submitted by interested parties will inform the ExA in making their final recommendation on the application to the relevant Secretary of State.
