Enquiry and question rgerading Rule 4 and Rule 6 Letters issued in March 2012.

Advice given

The application for the M6-Heysham Link Road is being dealt with by the Planning Inspectorate under the Planning Act 2008 and not the Highways Act 1980. Therefore the parts of the Highways Act to which you refer are not relevant.

However, Interested Parties were encouraged to put forward alternatives through the identification of initial principal issues under Section 88 of the Act in March prior to the Preliminary Meeting and Interested Parties did put forward alternatives during the process, for example the Lancaster Bypass Link. You will be aware that a hearing was held on alternative options and alignments during July, in accordance with the timetable published under Rule 8 in April.
