Appeal reference: APP/Z5630/W/23/3326469; Appeal start date: 17/08/2023.
I refer to the above details. An appeal has been made to the Secretary of State against the decision of the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames to Refuse planning permission.
The appeal will be determined on the basis of an inquiry. The procedure to be followed is set out in the Town and Country Planning Appeals (Determination by Inspectors) (Inquiry Procedure) (England) Rules 2000, as amended.
For any group or organisation who wish to take an active part in the Inquiry, the opportunity is available to apply for what is known as Rule 6 status. Although unusual, there is also scope for interested individuals to take part on the same basis. Rule 6 status means that you would be able to present your evidence on a formal basis and cross examine the evidence of others. You can find guidance at the following link:
Arrangements for the Inquiry are currently being finalised by the Planning Inspectorate. These will include a pre-lnquiry conference call with the lead parties to deal with procedural and administrative matters, including how the evidence will be heard. As a Rule 6 party, it is anticipated that you would also be a part of that process. If, having read the above guidance, you wish to apply for Rule 6 status and/or have any related questions, you should contact the Planning Inspectorate immediately. If you are interested but are unable to access the guidance electronically, again, you should contact the Planning Inspectorate who will try and assist.
If, having read the above guidance, you wish to apply for Rule 6 status it is essential that you contact the Planning Inspectorate immediately.
We have forwarded all the representations made to us on the application to the Planning Inspectorate and the appellant. These will be considered by the Inspector when determining the appeal.
If you wish to make comments, or modify/withdraw your previous representation, you can do so online at https://acp.planninginspectorate.gov.uk. If you do not have access to the internet, you can send your comments to:

All representations must be received by 21st September 2023. Any representations submitted after the deadline will not usually be considered and will be returned. The Planning Inspectorate does not acknowledge representations. All representations must quote the appeal reference.
Please note that any representations you submit to the Planning Inspectorate will be copied to the appellant and this local planning authority and will be considered by the Inspector when determining the appeal.
The appeal documents are available for inspection using computers at Guildhall 2, High Street, Kingston upon Thames, KT1 1EU between 8.45am - 5.00pm Monday to Friday or at a local library at the following website https://publicaccess.kingston.gov.uk/online-applications/
