Queries regarding the scope for late Relevant Representations and the formal appointment of the Examining Authority.

Advice given

As the deadline for submitting relevant representations for the above project has now elapsed, any submissions received during the ?pre-examination? stage will need to be accepted as ?additional submissions? in order to be included in the examination of the application. The Examining Authority (ExA) can use it?s discretion to accept submissions during this stage only once it has been formally appointed. There is currently no scope to accept any submissions late as the ExA is yet to be appointed.

If you wish to submit a representation, the case team will hold it until the ExA has been appointed and contact you with regard to whether it has been accepted as an additional submission. As Network Rail have been identified as a statutory party, you will receive the ?rule 4 and 6? letter which will notify you of the appointed Examining Authority (ExA), invite you to attend the Preliminary Meeting and set out the ExA?s initial assessment of principle issues it wishes to examine. This procedural decision will be issued on or before 12 August 2015.
