The Planning Inspectorate's preliminary meeting which starts the six-month examination phase for Dogger Bank Creyke Beck will be held next week (Tuesday, February 18) in Hull.

The meeting at the Hull City Hall will focus on the procedures that will be involved in the examination of the application for the 2.4GW offshore wind energy project.

The outcomes from that meeting will be published on the National Infrastructure Planning Portal along with the timetable for the examination – http://infrastructure.planningportal.gov.uk/projects/yorkshire-and-the-humber/dogger-bank-creyke-beck/

The timetable will include deadlines for when detailed written representations are due and deadlines for comments on others' relevant representations. It will also set out the dates for hearings to look at specific technical issues and details of an open floor hearing for members of the public.

Consent manager Melissa Read said that this is an inclusive and ongoing process designed to ensure everyone with comments on the proposals is able to have their say.

“I would encourage anyone with an interest in the development to regularly check the National Infrastructure Planning Portal as well as the Forewind website to ensure they are up to date with the progress of the examination phase."
