At the hearings last week, the ExA asked the NCC to provide further information on quite a large number of matters. Presumably, the NCC will need to submit the new material by Monday 29 September. However, the timetable doesn?t make any provision for IPs to comment on the NCC documentation. Please could you clarify whether IPs may in fact comment and give the deadline by which we may comment please.
The ExA indicated their intention to hold a further hearing in November to deal with new traffic management measures for the western villages which they have asked the NCC to consider. Will the hearing address any other matters such as the large amount of information requested by the ExA with regard to assessment of sustainable transport measures please?
Deadline 9 on 10 November (for receipt of comments on ExA?s draft DCO) ? is this where IPs can submit their reflections on the NCC?s case and make closing statements please?
Advice given
I suggest that Deadline 8 of 9 October would be a suitable occasion for comment on material provided at Deadline 7.
The November hearing will be about the draft Development Consent Order, and any matters arising from the proposed provision for additional compulsory acquisition relating to the Drayton roundabout. The ExA have, to my understanding, investigated issues such as sustainable transport to their satisfaction. This would only be discussed in the context of using the DCO to secure such measures, not the measures themselves. If the ExA require more information, they will ask for it in writing.
There is no provision for closing statements in NSIP examination timetables.
