According to the PI's web site, the Manston application has been withdrawn. Yet when I go to the home page and select the filter to show only withdrawn status applications, no records are returned. So is the Manston application withdrawn or not?

Advice given

An application would only appear with ‘Withdrawn’ as the project stage if: • it was withdrawn by the Applicant after it had been accepted for examination; or • it was withdrawn at the Acceptance stage with the Applicant expressing a clearly that it did not intend to resubmit.

Applications that are withdrawn in the above ways are displayed for a period of time before they are removed from the website. For more information see: https://infrastructure.planninginspectorate.gov.uk/help/about/

In the case of the Manston Airport application, and for any other application that is withdrawn at the Acceptance stage with the Applicant stating clearly its intention to resubmit at some time in the future, the project stage is moved back to ‘Pre-application’.
