Examination in Public (EiP)

Public examination hearings have been scheduled to take place on Wednesday 22nd and Thursday 23rd February 2012, to consider the soundness of the Plan.

The Secretary of State has appointed an independent inspector to oversee the Examination, Mr Andrew Mead, and a programme of matters, issues, and confirmation of the hearing dates will be made available on this website in due course.

Individuals and organisations that have made representations at the Publication stage in July-September 2011 will be contacted with details of the examination procedure. 

The Councils have appointed a Programme Officer, Mr Chris Hobson, who reports to the Inspector and who will advise and deal with all procedural, administrative and programming matters.
