Please can I confirm that there is no need to attend the Preliminary Meeting in order to be able to submit responses to questions, etc. or take part in future hearings?

Advice given

The Preliminary Meeting is a procedural meeting that helps inform how the application will be examined.

At the Meeting, invited people and organisations will be invited to make comments on the draft Examination Timetable and arrangements for future Examination events, before the Examining Authority finalises the timetable.

It is not an opportunity for interested parties to put forward their views about what they like or don’t like about the application. Irrespective of whether you attend the preliminary meeting, once the Examination begins following the preliminary meeting, you will be able to:

• Make representations about the application that is being examined.

• Have the opportunity to attend and speak at the hearings that take place during the Examination and attend the accompanied site inspection.

• Have the opportunity to provide further written evidence to the appointed Examining Inspectors, known as the Examining Authority.
