I feel I must write to lodge my disapproval to the proposed industrial developmentaround Kegworth & Castle Donington. It amazes me that we talk about saving the environment, reduce health risks and reduce air pollution then when something like this development is proposedall this is forgotten.
The roads around the M1 & A50 get grid locked now, what will happenif this development goes ahead. Drivers will start using minor roads to avoid congestion, these are nt suitable for HGV`s.
This has only been brought to our attention via campaigners. The Government and planners have not involved us as TAX payers and people who will have to live and (DIE wit it ). My TAX money would be better spent on the NHS, crime prevention, education, social services, immigrant control, etc. In my opion this development comes way down the list.
Advice given
As you are likely aware, on 19 September 2014 the Planning Inspectorate (on behalf of the Secretary of State) made its decision that the application by Roxhill (Kegworth) Ltd was of a satisfactory standard to proceed to be examined.
Importantly, the Inspectorate?s decision to accept the application to be examined did not comprise any consideration of the merits of the application. These issues will be tested in detail by an appointed Examining Authority at the appropriate time.
The examination of the application cannot commence until a ?relevant representations? period has elapsed; a minimum period of 28 days within which anybody can register to become and ?interested party?, enabling them to make written and oral representations about the application throughout the six month examination period.
The applicant advertised the acceptance of the application today (26 September 2014), and the relevant representations period for the application period opened concurrently. In order for the comments comprised within your email to be considered by an Examining Authority, once appointed, I must request that you register as an interested party as described above. The comments comprised within your email concerning the merits of the application should be repeated on the appropriate prescribed form. The form is available by clicking the following link:
Please be aware that the deadline for making a relevant representation is 3 November 2014. For more information on how to register as an interested party please read the Inspectorate?s associated advice note (Advice note 8.3: How to register and become an interested part in an examination), available here:
