09/05/2023 - Planning Inspectorate invites comments on proposals for sustainable long-term growth of London Luton Airport

For the next seven weeks, people are being invited by the Planning Inspectorate to have their say on Luton Rising’s application for a Development Consent Order for the long-term sustainable growth of London Luton Airport.

The Planning Inspectorate accepted the proposals for examination on 27 March 2023, and now detailed information has been issued explaining how people can make what is called a ‘Relevant Representation’ about the application and therefore become an ‘Interested Party’.

Interested parties may subsequently take part in the examination, which is expected to begin later in the year.

Representations may include any comments that express interest in, support for, or an objection to the application.

Representations must be made on the Planning Inspectorate’s Registration and Relevant Representation Form.

This is available on the Planning Inspectorate’s website.

Anyone who wishes to request a hard copy of the registration form, or who is unable to complete it online and would like to register their interest, should call the Planning Inspectorate’s helpline on 0303 444 5000, quoting the name of the Application and the Planning Inspectorate’s reference number which is TR020001.

Completed forms should then be sent to the Planning Inspectorate by post or email to:

Post: The Planning Inspectorate, National Infrastructure Planning, 3D, Temple Quay House, Temple Quay, Bristol, BS1 6PN

Email: [email protected]

Relevant Representations must be received by the Planning Inspectorate by 23:59hrs on Friday 23 June 2023.

All representations must include details of the maker’s name, address and telephone number, along with an outline of the points intended to be made at the examination stage.

Submitted representations will be published on the Planning Inspectorate’s website and will be subject to its privacy policy.

Further information on how to make a representation.
