Mr Renwick called to confirm the process for making requests to attend and speak at an open-floor hearing and how a petition of 600 persons in respect of the proposed Preesall Underground Gas Storage Facility can be considered by the Examining Authority.

Advice given

Reference was given to the Rule 8 letter of The Infrastructure Planning (Examination Procedure) Rules 2010 as amended by the Consequential Amendments Regulations 2012 which details the relevant dates for both the receipt by The Inspectorate for requests to be heard at open-floor hearings and the dates they will be taking place.

It was advised that written representations must be received by The Inspectorate by Wednesday 6 June and if the aforementioned petition is to be submitted during the examination of the Preesall Underground Gas Storage Facility, it should be submitted as part of an Interested Party's written representation. If it is not, it is at the discretion of the Examining Authority as to whether such evidence is taken into consideration.
