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

Representation ID: 8753

Received: 29/09/2021

Respondent: Staploe Parish Council

Representation Summary:

Staploe Parish could be profoundly and permanently affected by the decisions made in this plan and yet we have been unable to meet with residents in public to discuss this until very recently due to Covid. However, we found it particularly difficult to respond to the 25% increase in the area of the Dennybrook (site 977) site because it was made public at short notice 8 months after the call for sites deadline closed and only one month before the consultation opened. It was impossible to respond effectively to the Eaton Bank site in Duloe as this was submitted on 2nd September just one day before the deadline for the consultation. We do not believe that additional sites should be considered after the deadline for the call for sites or through the Regulation 18 draft Local Plan consultation.

1.2 100 Word Summary
Staploe Parish could be profoundly affected by this plan and yet we have been unable to meet with residents in public due to Covid. It was particularly difficult to respond to late site expansions such as that at Dennybrook or late site submissions such as Eaton Bank.
