Virtual inquiry to be held

A virtual public inquiry is to be held for the Appeals by DM Guppy & Sons. The appeal relates to several planning decisions regarding Guppy’s Yard on East Moors Lane, St Leonards.

The details are as follows:

  • construction of hardstanding: Dorset Council Ref: 3/19/1630/CLE, documents available by entering this reference at: https://eastplanning.dorsetcouncil.gov.uk/ Planning Inspectorate Ref: APP/D1265/X/20/3260162

Inspector Mr Simon Hand has been appointed by the Secretary of State and will hold an Inquiry opening on Tuesday 13 April at 10am to decide the appeals.  The Inquiry is likely to last for several days.

The Inquiry will be held as a virtual (online) event run by the Inspector in the normal way, but with the parties invited to join via Microsoft Teams or by telephone.

The decisions on the appeals will be published on: https://acp.planninginspectorate.gov.uk/

Anyone wishing to attend the Inquiry (via Microsoft Teams or by telephone) must make that interest known to the Planning Inspectorate Case Officer Opirim Agala before the Inquiry, either by email or telephone.  You will also be required to confirm whether you want to take an active part in the proceedings or attend only as an observer

Before deciding whether to take an active part in the Inquiry, you need to think carefully about the points you wish to make.  All written submissions from application and appeal stage will be taken into account by the Inspector. Re-stating the same points won’t add any additional weight to them.

If you feel that taking part in the Inquiry is right for you in whatever capacity, you can participate in a number of ways:

To take part using video, participants will need to have access to Microsoft Teams (via an app or web browser). This link gives further information: https://support.office.com/en-gb/teams.

Alternatively, you can take part by telephone.  Calls would be to an 020 number which will incur charges: https://www.gov.uk/call-charges
