Common use of Late Representations Clause in Contracts

Late Representations. 3.14.1. The Council will only consider representations made in accordance with the relevant, specified consultation period. This means sending representations to the Council in writing or by email, by the closing date specified in the consultation publicity. To be logged as ‘duly made’ as a Local Development Plan representation they must specify the matters to which they relate at Pre-Deposit Consultation stage. At the Deposit Stage they should specify the matters to which they relate and the change being sought, the grounds on which they are made and, wherever possible, the Test(s) of Soundness to which they relate. 3.14.2. ▇▇▇▇ made objections at Deposit Stage can be considered at the Examination. Representations made at Pre-Deposit Stage are not considered by the Inspector. 3.14.3. If a representation is received later than the closing date and there was a clear attempt in good faith to submit in time the submission may still be considered as ‘duly made’ provided that appropriate objective evidence of posting or delivery is supplied to the reasonable satisfaction of the Authority. 3.14.4. Those who have a statutory right to appear before, and be heard by, the Examination Inspector (i.e. objectors, those who seek a change to the plan – under Section 64(6) of the 2004 Act) may pursue their objections by using the written representation procedure if they do not wish to appear at the Examination. Objections pursued in this way carry as much weight with Inspectors as those made orally at Examination (Local Development Plan Manual Edition 3 paragraph 6.42).
