I note from your website that the Ipswich Chord Application is now open for registration as of 21 July 2011, Suffolk County Council to date have not received notification of this or any documentation.

We note that the closing date for representations is 1st September, as this is over the summer period we intend to provide a provisional headline summary of our concerns by the closing date as our next available Cabinet Committee date is October.

Could you please confirm if you have / intend to send a hard copy of the documentation

Advice given

Thank you for your email.

I can confirm that a decision to accept the proposed application for examination was made on 21 July 2011 and was subsequently published on our website. The registration period for interested parties register their interest did not however open on this day as once a decision on acceptance has been made, the developer is then obligated to fulfil the requirements set out in s.56 of the Planning Act 2008. This includes advertising the acceptance and setting out the dates for when interested parties can register their interest.

The developer has since commenced its requirements and the first publication was on 27 July which is when the registration period opened. I can confirm the developer has set a deadline for representations to be received by the IPC by 1 September 2011. Please note, representations must be made on the registration form, we do not issue hard copies unless a specific request is made as these forms are available online and can be accessed at the following link:

Please refer to the guidance and advice in support of completing the form as this will ensure all relevant fields are completed. When registering you must include a summary of the key issues you want the IPC to focus on but there will be an opportunity to provide a more detailed statement at the examination stage.
