What happens next

The preliminary meeting will be held on Tuesday 12 November 2013. Invitations to this meeting have been sent to interested parties.

The preliminary meeting is held in public and concerns procedural matters only. It is not essential to attend the preliminary meeting; interested parties will be sent details of how to take further part in the examination in any event.

The procedural decision, setting the timetable for the examination including deadlines for receipt of detailed written representations and for comments on others’ representations, will be made after the preliminary meeting and will be published on the project page. It will also be available on request from WalneyExtension@infrastructure.gsi.gov.uk and our helpline: 0303 444 5000.

If you are an interested party, you will receive notifications about the examination and you will also be notified about the final decision.

If you have a legal interest in land affected by a nationally significant infrastructure project and have not already registered to become an interested party, then you can make a request to the Examining Authority to become an interested party under s102A of the Planning Act 2008 (as amended).
