Rossendale’s head of planning has advised:

• The validation process for this and any application we receive is undertaken in accordance with RBC’s Validation Checklist and the National Validation Checklist.
• Issues relating to the impacts of the development are assessed through the application process and if further information is needed to assess the proposal, it will be requested during the course of the application.
• If deficiencies in the scheme are identified, they would have to be addressed to the decision taker’s satisfaction.
• Any significant changes to the Environmental Statement will require re-consultation.
• We have sent the application to the Secretary of State and await to hear whether the application is to be called in.
• Consultation is likely to start in early September when the Case Officer returns from annual leave.

Now is the time to read, inwardly digest and consolidate efforts to defeat this wind farm application.
