Late representation received on 12 March 2014 regarding Knottingley Power Project. The Examining Authority exercised its discretion and has chosen not to accept the representation at this stage.

Advice given

Please note that your name has been given to the Planning Inspectorate in the Knottingley Power Limited?s notice under section 59 of the Planning Act 2008 (as amended) which the applicant is required to provide under the 2008 Act. The purpose of the notice is to inform the Secretary of State of persons affected by the proposed development or who have an interest in land to which compulsory acquisition request relates. Moreover, as an affected person by the proposed development please be advised that you are already considered as an interested party ?IP? for above application.

As you may be aware the deadline to submit a relevant representation to the Planning Inspectorate closed on 6 January 2014. Please note that as your comments were received outside of this deadline, the Examining Authority (ExA) has decided to disregard your representation and not to take into account your comments on this occasion.

However, as an interested party you will be invited by the ExA to take a full part in the examination of the application by making written representations within deadlines set in the examination timetable. Please note that as an IP you will also be able to make oral representations at the hearings should any take place during examination. I therefore advise you to resubmit your comments included in your email dated 12 March 2014 as a written representation for the first deadline set within the final examination timetable.

Please note that the ExA will shortly be issuing a letter to all interested parties, which contains the final examination timetable for the application, known as the Rule 8 letter.

The Rule 8 letter will include a number of deadlines for submissions to be made by interested parties during the examination, including a deadline for submission of ?written representations?. The purpose of a written representation is to identify those parts of the application that each party agrees with and those parts which they do not agree with, including the reasons for such disagreement. There is no prescribed form for making written representations, however all submissions should be made within deadlines as set within the ExA?s timetable. All late submissions may be disregarded by the ExA. The ExA will also invite all interested parties in its Rule 8 letter to notify the ExA of their wish to be heard at the hearings should any take place.
