Local Plan 2040 Draft Plan - Strategy options and draft policies consultation

Representation ID: 3887

Received: 28/08/2021

Respondent: Sir Graham Fry

Representation Summary:

The leaflet sent to households makes no reference to the full ambition for Dennybrook of having 10,500 dwellings. This was thoroughly misleading. I myself initially assumed that the proposal for Dennybrook was only for 2,500 dwellings, and it was a shock to discover that that was not the case.
I also did not notice (until it was pointed out to me) that it was still possible to comment on the other six options.
Why is the consultation being done in this misleading way, and are Councillors to get a vote on the outcome?
