Hearing statements

The Inspectors’ initial Matters, Issues and Questions (MIQs) (INS03) were issued in September 2024, and hearing statements based on these MIQs were then published on the examination web pages. After a pause in the examination to allow the Council to respond to the Inspectors following the initial hearing sessions which took place in November 2024, an addendum to the MIQ’s (INS03a) was released in October 2025.

Respondents were asked to resubmit hearing statements, either as new documents, with highlighted addendums or to keep the original submission. The status of each statement is reflected in the tables on this page.
