The B&Q inquiry is now closed. Ben Tansley led the Rule 6 opposition to it (which included MapRA); we are indebted to him (you can see his closing speech at link – it’s ID25 under Inquiry Documents, plenty of other docs too!). The inspector expects to complete his report around the end of April and submit it to the Secretary of State in May. It is unlikely that we’ll see the resulting decision before the Autumn though.
