3. In around mid-July the Inspector will write to all those who submitted representations to outline the procedures and timetable.
4. The inspector will be focused on testing whether the plan is sound
5. The examination in public hearings are expected to start in late September and last for 2-3 weeks
6. Appearance at the hearings will be limited to those people who submitted representations to the consultation and who were seeking to change the plan
7. After the hearings there may be an additional consultation if modifications to the Plan are recommended as part of the examination
We understand that the representations made during the last consultation will be published around the same time as submission to the Secretary of State. Things are certainly hotting up, and it’s all to play for.
