Comments on the proposed A556 Knutsford to Bowdon Highway Project were submitted to the IPC and the Highways Agency. A request to become an interested party was also made.

Advice given

The IPC responded as follows: The A556 Knutsford to Bowdon Highway proposal is currently in the pre-application stage of the process in accordance with the Planning Act 2008 (the Act). The applicant has a duty to consult on the proposals at the pre-application stage and the opportunity will be available to you to respond to this formal pre-application consultation once it commences. The applicant will have a duty to take account of any "relevant response" to this consultation prior to submitting their application to the IPC. Please see section 42, 47, 48 and 49 of the Act for more information on the following link: http://infrastructure.independent.gov.uk/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/ukpga_20080029_en.pdf

To clarify, the application has not yet been submitted to the IPC. It will be submitted following completion of the pre-application stage and if it is accepted for examination by the IPC, you will then have the opportunity to register as an interested party by completing a relevant representation. This process can only take place after an application is accepted.
