Core Strategy Submission Document

Representation ID: 15783

Received: 07/10/2009

Respondent: Mr Andrew Allen

Legally compliant? No

Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? Not specified

Representation Summary:

It is not true that all evidence has been considered. Sites which have been submitted have not been fully considered. My site was only visited AFTER the report had been published and has still not been added to RDC's website as a submitted site! No feedback on the suitability of my site has been provided. Where is the proof that all evidence has been considered? If there is no proof then this report is unsound and the process employed in constructing this report is open to legal challenge.
If there is proof then why hasn't it been published!

Core Strategy Submission Document

Representation ID: 16832

Received: 02/11/2009

Respondent: M D Smith & Son

Agent: Capita Symonds

Legally compliant? Not specified

Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? Not specified

Representation Summary:

The Core Strategy is unsound as it has not been justified through an effective Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment (SHLAA). The Council published a list of sites considered through the SHLAA approximately one week before the deadline for submissions towards the Proposed Submission Core Strategy on Monday 2nd November 2009. However, no supporting text or explanation of the sites listed by the SHLAA was provided. The Core Strategy has therefore been prepared without any provision for interested parties to properly review and comment on the contents, recommendations and conclusions made within the SHLAA. The Council has produced a Core Strategy Development Plan Document in an inappropriate, ineffective and unjustified manner. Central government encourages consultation at the earliest possible stage in the plan making process.

The Core Strategy Proposed Submission Document should be made available for a further six week period and notices should be published to inform all interested parties that the SHLAA has been now been completed and forms a key part of the Evidence Base to the Core Strategy.
