The Whitemoss Landfill Limited for the Whitemoss Landfill proposal in Skelmersdale, Lancashire, has been accepted for examination.
The application was submitted on 20 December 2013 and the decision to accept the application to proceed has been made in accordance with section 55 of the Planning Act 2008 (as amended by the Localism Act 2011). The proposed project is for the construction of new hazardous waste management facilities at Whitemoss Landfill, comprising the construction of new landfill void to the west of the existing landfill site for the disposal of hazardous waste together with associated development. When considering whether or not to accept an application for examination, the Secretary of State has regard to the application documents submitted, any adequacy of consultation representations received from local authorities, and the extent to which the developer has had regard to any guidance issued. Other matters relating to the application will be considered by the Examining Authority during the examination. Interested parties will have an opportunity to take part in that process and make representations if they wish. The 'Acceptance to Proceed' decision and a copy of the application can be viewed at the Whitemoss Landfill Western Extension on the Planning Inspectorate's National Infrastructure Planning website.
It is now for the applicant, Whitemoss Landfill Limited, to publicise the fact that its application has been accepted to proceed to examination and invite people who are interested in the proposal to register with the Planning Inspectorate as an interested party by making a relevant representation.
Once the period to register has opened, people will be able to do so online by completing the 'Registration and Relevant Representation form'.
Sir Michael Pitt, Chief Executive of The Planning Inspectorate, said: "After careful consideration, on behalf of the Secretary of State we have decided that the application submitted by Whitemoss Landfill Limited met the required tests set out in the legislation to be accepted for examination.
"The applicant must now decide when to publicise the fact that its application has been accepted to proceed to examination and announce when members of the public will be able to register with The Planning Inspectorate as an interested party in the application."
