The Public Inquiry starts Tuesday 29 October 10am at Horsham Sports Club, Cricketfield Road, Horsham RH12 1TE. Everyone is welcome to observe the Inquiry, come along and hear the evidence, ask to speak.
Planning Inspector Ian Jenkins has produced the draft programme, the Inquiry may extend into the third scheduled week. It is likely that precise timings will change during the course of the Inquiry and the programme will remain under review/subject to change.
Anyone who would like to speak at the inquiry, should attend the opening session on Tuesday 29th October and make their request to the Inspector, when he asks who would like to speak. A proxy can speak on their behalf, similarly, they should attend the inquiry opening.
Interested Parties appearing at the Inquiry may do so in person or may be represented by counsel, a solicitor or some other representative. When making a case, prospective participants should bear in mind that if a point is a good one, and is supported by relevant evidence, it needs to be made only once in order to carry weight. Repeating the point will not add to that weight but will simply waste Inquiry time.
With that in mind, the Inspector said that it may be that arguments for or against the proposal could be made more effectively and succinctly by one person/organisation, than by many individuals making the same points in slightly different ways. The Inspector has urged parties/individuals to get together wherever possible to present joint cases through a single spokesperson. In order to ensure that the Inquiry is completed as expeditiously as possible, he will intervene to prevent any unnecessary repetition.
To assist the Inspector Ni4H is collating names of local residents and organisations who may wish to speak at the Inquiry.
