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

Respondent: Mr Tom Tagg
Respondees to the Issues and Options consultation were held to a closing date. The same principle does not appear to have been maintained for the ‘call for sites’ process. Sites have been added/expanded/relocated many months after the deadline, e.g. Taylor Wimpey at Dennybrook, substantially changing and influencing BBC’s choices of options.
I therefore do not believe that the call for sites was conducted in an open and transparent manner. Residents have only had one month to gather their thoughts about this enormous new development at Wyboston/Dennybrook of up to 10,800 homes, which will engulf their properties, before the draft consultation opened. I do not believe this is a fair consultation.
THIS IS AN UNFAIR PRESUMPTION IN FAVOUR OF DEVELOPERS.
