Eleven of its Proofs were published by that date, but the Highways Agency reports that two (those on Cultural Heritage and on Policies and Plans) were not put on deposit until 14 June. Those two Proofs were therefore 7 working days late (working days in this context being Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays). The deadline previously established for evidence submission by other parties was 15 June in the case of those making representations regarding the Bypass on its own, and 17 July in all other cases. It may be that some parties would be disadvantaged by the combination of the established deadlines and the lateness of the Highways Agency’s evidence on Cultural Heritage and on Policies and Plans. Further to the Programme Officer’s letter dated 8 June 2007 to all parties, the Inspector has now decided that parties who are disadvantaged by the lateness of the Highways Agency’s Proofs of Evidence on Cultural Heritage and on Policies and Plans may submit their evidence by 26 June if their representations are about the Bypass on its own, or by 26 July in the case of representations about the combined effect of the Bypass and the Glossop Spur. He expects that those whose representations are solely about the Spur will not be affected by the lateness of some of the Highways Agency’s evidence, and in such cases representations that are solely about the Spur should be submitted by 17 July. Questions of clarification of the Highways Agency’s evidence may be put, in writing via the Programme Officer, on or before 26 June. 06 June 2007Promoters' Proof of Evidence uploaded to the website. 01 June 2007To reduce the need for different parties to produce copies of the same documents, parties are invited to consider whether background documents they intend to submit to the inquiry might be of general use. For example, Government papers on relevant matters that are not already on the list of deposit documents might be helpful to other parties. Please contact the Programme Officer if you intend to submit such a document. Four papers copies and one electronic copy of each such document will be needed. 09 May 2007Transcript of the Pre-Inquiry Meeting published to the website 08 May 2007Pre-Inquiry Meeting notes published. 12 April 2007Inquiry web site first published. 5 April 2007Notices of the Inquiry and the Pre-Inquiry Meeting published. |
