Caller wanted some information on the examination process and how to make representations

Advice given

Following the acceptance of an application, the IPC will accept submissions from the public and statutory bodies on the key issues that ought to be examined (relevant representations). The deadline for the submission of relevant representations will be publicised by the promoter, and must be no fewer than 28 days after the last day on which their acceptance notice is published. The representations received will inform the intial assessment of issues, to be completed within 21 days of the end of the relevant representation period. This in turn will inform the preliminary meeting where procedural matters are finalised, yeilding a procedural decision in the form of a timetable. The examination will primarily take the form of written representations and the exact structure of the examination is to be determined by the examining authority.
