Duty to co-operate? Not specified
Whilst the Council may have 'ticked all the boxes' I do not believe they have taken to heart the objectives set out in PPS12 to"embed community responsive policy making at its heart" or "require planners to collaborate actively with a wide range of stakeholders". This is evidenced by the low percentage of responses in previous consultations a few hundred from a population of over 80,000. I believe the original options were 'loaded' to get the answer the council wanted and they have ignored suggestions that didn't fit their model.
