The Planning Inspectorate received request to become an interested party after close of relevant representation stage.

Advice given

Thank you for your email with regard to the East Midlands Gateway RFI project.

I am sorry to hear that you have experienced difficulties when trying to register as an interested party for above project. As you are likely to be aware, the registration period for becoming an interested party closed on 3 November 2014, 23:59.

It is not possible to register you as an interested party; however, you may still make a submission that can be made available to the Examining Authority. The Examining Authority?s ?ExA? can exercise its discretion to consider any late submissions received. Please send this through as soon as you are able to via this project email address.

The ExA for the project is due to be appointed shortly. Once appointed, the ExA will set the date and time for the Preliminary Meeting to be held in order to discuss the draft examination timetable and other procedural matters. The ExA will issue the letter (known as a Rule 6 Letter) inviting interested parties to attend that meeting. In addition, the ExA may also wish to choose to invite any other person who expressed an interest in the application.

Meanwhile, you may find it helpful to follow the project website, available from the link below, in order to keep up to date with the progress of the application process.
