UPDATE: 11th August
I have now received formal notice from the Planning Inspectorate that the Preliminary Meeting for the Hinckley NRFI proposal is to go ahead on Tuesday 12th September.
All those who have registered as an Interested Party will have been emailed details of when and where the meeting will take place.
It's important to note that this meeting is not an opportunity for Interested Party's to share their views on the application.
A livestream link of the meeting will be made available on this webpage if you wish to watch, with a recording published shortly after the meeting has taken place: Hinckley National Rail Freight Interchange | National Infrastructure Planning (planninginspectorate.gov.uk)
UPDATE: 9th August
I have received the following response from the Planning Inspectorate:
"The information was unfortunately released too early due to an error with the website. This has now been rectified and the banner has now been taken down.
"The invitations will be with all interested parties in due course."
I will continue to monitor the PINS website and keep you all updated.

I wanted to keep you updated on the next stage in the Hinckley NRFI proposal.
The below has been shared on the Planning Inspectorate website:
"The Preliminary Meeting will be held on Tuesday 12 September 2023. Invitations to this meeting have been sent to Interested Parties.
"The Preliminary Meeting is held in public and concerns procedural matters only. It is not essential to attend the Preliminary Meeting. Whether or not an Interested Party chooses to attend the Preliminary Meeting, they will still be sent details of how to further take part in the Examination.
"The Procedural Decision, setting the timetable for the Examination including deadlines for receipt of detailed Written Representations and for comments on the Relevant Representations made by other Interested Parties, will be made after the Preliminary Meeting and will be published on this project page. It will also be available on request from [email protected] and our helpline: 0303 444 5000."
Despite registering as an Interested Party in June, I have not received an invitation - as mentioned in the first paragraph of the PINS update - to the meeting. I will be chasing this up.
