Lancashire County Council have indicated that ONLY issues relating to the proposed scheme as it now stands can be considered, but another source (a letter in the local newspaper [ Lancaster Guardian]) has advised that:
"Under its terms of reference the IPC can look again at all the issues involved including the fundamental ones of whether the original solution and decision was the right one."
Can you please advise which of these two is correct? And, if the latter, whether submissions can be made directly to the IPC or routed through Lancashire County Council?
Advice given
A holding response was sent, but contained the following advice:
Please see our attached advice notes for information on making representations. These set out the different stages of the application process, how, when and who to make representations to. In general the pre-application stage is where the developer is responsible for handling representations. It has a duty to have regard to these, and to set out how it has done so if it makes an application to us. Should the IPC accept an application to go forward for examination, you can then register with us as an interested party to, among other things, make representations and request an open floor hearing.
