Schedule 1, Paragraph 27: Part 6, Chapter 4: Examination of applications under Chapter 2 or 3 Section 91: Hearings about specific issues
168.This section provides that the Examining authority must arrange a hearing when it decides that it is necessary for its examination of a specific issue to receive oral representations, either to ensure the adequate examination of the issue, or so that an interested party has a fair chance to put their case. Each interested party will be entitled to make oral representations about the specific issue. Concurrent hearings may be held where a Panel of Commissioners is the examining authority.
