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

I believe that the Issues and Options consultation was invalid. It represented growth in Staploe parish as “urban growth” showing the whole parish as brown – urban land on brownfield or under utilised land. This is profoundly untrue. The parish is entirely rural and classed as open countryside and is all utilised as high quality agricultural land (grade 2).
I would also call into question the effectiveness of the issues and options consultation as only 0.12% of the population responded.
A rail based growth strategy policy may be required if growth is to be located around rail.
