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

Representation ID: 8061

Received: 03/09/2021

Respondent: Mr Henry Vann

Representation Summary:

A great deal of misinformation has been spread regarding the local plan. The Borough Council should, in its response, clarify and correct these misunderstandings or inaccurate reports. In many cases the responses are well-intentioned.
We should also seek alliances with parish councils to explain the issues with the standard method but also challenge the current and proposed planning systems.
The amount of work put into developing a local plan is huge and should be recognised. At a time of huge strain on local taxpayers and council resources – not just a result of the pandemic and Covid but the ongoing massive cuts made far worse since 2015 – the delivery and protection of a five-year land supply and the upholding of planning decisions should be commended and all planning officers thanked for their work in developing and upholding such a comprehensive current and future plan.
