Advice to Grey Friars Investments

I would be grateful if you would confirm the number of DCO applications in the 5 years to April 2018 that have been withdrawn during the 28 acceptance period (i.e. after the submission but prior to a decision on acceptance or non-acceptance).

I have reviewed the information in the Register of Applications (https://infrastructure.planninginspectorate.gov.uk/projects/register-of-applications/), and the underlying projects. From my review it appears that out of the last 50 applications (back to Woodside Link Houghton Regis Project submitted in 2013), there are only two projects where an application was submitted and then withdrawn during the 28 day acceptance period.

These projects are York Potash Harbour Facilities Order (January 2015) and Mynydd y Gwynt Wind Farm (May 2014).
