Representation Summary:

Encouragement of preparation of Parish Plans is futile. During the first decade of the 2000s, such initiative was adopted and Parish Plans were produced, with local consultation and submitted to the District Council. But they were ignored, certainly where Hockley was concerned, probably elsewhere too. Local people are not going to believe the Council now.

"Provision of guidance to developers" is derisory, particularly if such plans must be endorsed by the council before they can be used (who might decide to cancel them).
