Dibden Terminal Inquiry - Inquiry Procedures
Statutory procedures
In so far as the inquiry dealt with these called-in planning applications,
it will be subject to the statutory procedures set out in the Town
and Country Planning (Inquiries Procedure) (England) Rules 2000.
Similarly, in so far as the inquiry dealt with the application for the
Fawley Branch Line Improvement Order, it will be subject to the Transport
and Works (Inquiries Procedure) Rules 1992.
There are no equivalent statutory rules of procedure governing the other
matters before the inquiry. However, in order to maintain a coherent approach,
the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions
has indicated that the spirit of the statutory rules should apply to all
the matters before the inquiry.
The Department's Circular 5/2000, Annex A contains useful information and guidance on such topics
as Statements of Case, Proofs of Evidence, inquiry documents, etc.
Advice Notes have been issued covering aspects of procedure at this inquiry.
