Attendance information

Members of the public may attend the inquiry and, at the Inspector’s discretion, express their views. You do not need to register, you can just turn up.

Before deciding whether to take an active part in the inquiry, you need to think carefully about the points you wish to make. All written submissions from the initial application and subsequent appeal stage will be available to the Inspector and considered in their determination. Re-stating the same points made within previous written submissions will not add further weight. There will not be a facility for interested parties to participate virtually. If you do intend to make further representations you will be required to attend the inquiry in person.

If you want to take an active part but feel unable to for any reason, and/or the points you want to make are not covered in the evidence of others, consider whether someone else could raise them on your behalf.
