The Pre-examination meeting

A Pre-Examination meeting (advert) took place on Tuesday 9th October. This was a public meeting which took place in the Council Chamber at the District Council offices at 10:00am. The purpose of the meeting was to discuss the timetable and agenda of the examination, the issues that will be considered and to outline the timetable for hearing sessions. The Inspector wished to achieve the following:
  • to indicate to those who wish to exercise their right to attend and be heard how their representations are to be dealt with at the examination;

  • to consider who else might need to be invited to the examination to assist the inspector in his consideration of the soundness of the plan;

  • to identify the issues which will need to be considered at the examination in order to determine the soundness of the plan;

  • to consider how those issues relate to one another and the most logical order for their examination;

  • to identify the nature of the evidence to be brought to the examination and to set the timetable for the submission of that evidence; and

  • to establish the programme for the examination.



The following information was sent to those making representations at the Reg 29 stage:
