Special meetings of the Development Control Committee were scheduled for 22nd and 23rd August. These were to be in the form of a public examination of the application. However, BAA have declined to participate, which means there is little to be served by holding these meetings. Therefore, they have been cancelled. All other special Committee meetings will continue as scheduled.

Officer Recommendation

The following documents are available:

The Council has received a request from the Highways Agency to defer consideration of this planning application until 30^th November. The Highways Agency is responsible for the management of the Trunk Road network, including motorways, and it would be inappropriate to make a decision on the planning application without their input. In addition we have had no response to our notifications of the application from One Railway, Network Rail nor DfT Rail. Accordingly Officers will not be in a position to make a recommendation to the Development Control Committee on 27^th September.

The meetings scheduled for 13^th and 27^th will take place. That on 13^th will give an opportunity for SSE to take questions on their presentation given to Members on 4^th August, while that on 27^th will include a comprehensive position statement.

Details of further meetings will be released later in the year and we will ensure that all information is made available as soon as possible.
