Why your views matter
Early last year we consulted on the Preferred Options Document (the previous stage to the Publication Document). If you commented on the Preferred Options Document, you will see how your comments have been considered and addressed in the accompanying Consultation Statement to the Publication Document (see below).
The Council is now inviting comments on the Publication Document as part of the formal public consultation. At this stage, all comments and representations received will be forwarded directly to the Minister of Housing Communities and Local Government alongside the document itself for Examination by an independent planning inspector to test the ‘soundness’ and legal compliance of the plan.
