The enquirer requested information on how a group of persons could register and make representations.
Advice given
• The Planning Inspectorate encourages individuals with shared interests to form groups, and to register and make representations in the name of the group • On that basis, it necessary for a group name to be provided and for a named individual to be identified as the leader/ spokesperson for the group • Only the name of the group leader/ spokesperson needs to be provided on the registration form – all correspondence for the attention of the group in the course of the examination will be sent to the group leader/ spokesperson • The naming of a group leader/ spokesperson will not preclude other group members from making representations on behalf of the group in the course of the examination • The above advice is enshrined in the principle that it is the quality of the issues/ evidence put before an examination that will carry weight – not the amount of times the same issue is repeated
