POST-EXAMINATION PROCEDURES
After the Examination
26. On completing the examination, the appointed person will prepare a report setting out and giving reasons for his conclusions and recommendations. We envisage that the report will include conclusions and recommendations for each of the issues identified at the start of the examination process. The report will also set out the appointed person's assessment of the authority's conformity with their participation statement. The report will not include conclusions and recommendations on each individual representation.
27. The appointed person will then submit his report to the planning authority (in the case of LDPs) or Scottish Ministers (in the case of SDPs), publish it (including electronically) and notify parties who made unresolved representations. In the case of SDPs, the appointed person is also to send a copy of his report to the SDPA.
Costs
28. Draft regulation 7 proposes that the general costs and overheads associated with examinations into SDPs should be met equally by the SDPA and Scottish Ministers, and that these costs associated with examinations into LDPs should be met by the planning authority. This reflects Scottish Ministers' distinct role in approving SDPs. The intention is that parties' individual costs incurred preparing and presenting evidence should be met by that party.
Q8 Do you agree that the proposed apportionment of examination costs is fair and workable?
