Request to become an interested party

Advice given

Advised the registration period to be an interested party for this application closed on 3 November 2014 (23:59), as such The Planning Inspectorate is no longer able to register individuals or groups as interested parties for the purposes of this application.

The term interested party in relation to this process is a legally defined status and the fact that you have been unable to register your interest in time is not in any way meant to suggest that you are not interested in this application. We are not able to extend the deadline and have no statutory powers that would enable us to do so.

However, we will keep your comments on file and make them available to the Examining Authority ?ExA? who is able to exercise discretion to consider views and evidence from those who did not register a relevant representation on time. However, this does not mean that you would be regarded as an interested party for the purposes of the examination.

From your email, I also understand that you and other persons in the household share the same views about above project and that your son is registered as an interested party (IP) for the project. Please note that you may wish therefore consider submitting joint submissions for the project on behalf of the household through the already registered IP. All submissions must be made within the deadlines as specified in the final timetable for the application.

Please note that following the Preliminary Meeting the ExA will issue final timetable for examination of the application that will be also published on the project webpage available from below link: http://infrastructure.planningportal.gov.uk/projects/east-midlands/east-midlands-gateway-rail-freight-interchange/?ipcsection=overview
