Notes

It is emphasized that the following is a provisional and not necessarily exhaustive list of matters and issues that need to be addressed by the Inspector in the Report on the Draft APNW.

Not every matter and issue will necessarily be the subject of an oral session of the Inquiry, which will focus on the most controversial matters requiring discussion. Other matters may be covered by written representations.

Where objectors put forward alternative or additional sites to those allocated in the Draft Plan, these relate equally to matters of land requirement and site selection and will be treated as such, in addition to any site-specific Inquiry session.
