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

Representation ID: 4231

Received: 30/08/2021

Respondent: Mrs Gerardine Meola

Representation Summary:

Agree with Staploe Parish Council that the Issues and Options Consultation was flawed. It represented growth in its parish as urban; brown (urban land on brownfield or underutilised land) . This is not true. Staploe Parish is rural open countryside and is high quality agricultural land.

Only 279 respondents replied to the Issues and Options consultation and of those around 50% were not residents but other interested parties. This is of concern.
