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

Representation ID: 4528

Received: 01/09/2021

Respondent: Mrs Kathryn Smith

Representation Summary:

The councils proposal will have a massively negative impact on the rural parishes of Staploe and Colmworth.
Because of Covid restrictions we have been unable to meet as a community to discuss the plan and formulate responses until very recently.
It also came as a huge shock to discover a proposed huge 25% increase in the area of the Dennybrook (site 977) site. This was only made public at very short notice, only one month before the consultation opened and a full 8 months after the call for sites deadline closed.
