Enquiry type

Enquirer had received a letter from the Commission detailing the time, date and place of the forthcoming preliminary meeting and had the following questions:

  • What is the reason of the preliminary meeting?
  • What is the timescale for examination?
  • What will be discussed at a compulsory acquisition hearing?

Advice given

  • In accordance with Rule 6 of the Examination Procedure Rules 2010, the Commission must give notice of the time, date and place of the Preliminary meeting. The letter you received provides this information in relation to the Ipswich Chord proposal. Its also includes the draft timetable (Annex C) which will be discussed at the Preliminary meeting.
    The purpose of the Preliminary Meeting is to enable invitees present at the meeting to make representations to the Examining authority about how the application should be examined. It is not an opportunity to discuss the merits of the scheme. In light of the discussion at the meeting the timetable may be modified (where the Examining authority thinks appropriate) and finalised before being sent to Interested Parties.

-The draft timetable indicates 6 December 2011 to be the deadline for notification of affected persons who wish to be heard at a Compulsory acquisition (CA) hearing. If any CA hearings are requested the Examining Authority will chair the event and use their discretion to manage the discussion.
