Part 'B' is unsuitable to make detailed comments about specific elements of the Local Plan. It does not permit any detail regarding events leading up to when the public were informed of the Local Plan.
For this reason I have submitted separately my personal reasons with full details of events that have led to the Local Plan being unsound
Please refer to my representation attached to my email sent on Tuesday 24th Jun 2014

The vision is inconsistent with the Plan Period. Insufficient evidence has been supplied about the cooperation which has taken place to achieve a Plan that satisfies needs of neighbouring authorities. The Plan as prepared is not consistent entirely with the four key tests of soundness. Plan has been rushed through without the necessary tests being undertaken and that it is premature. Hatton Green / Hatton Park should receive a higher land allocation to reflect evidence of substantial employment needs and out commuting from this area. Insufficient regard has been given to the key strategic priority of supporting sustainable communities and enabling improvements to facilitate key services, such as was indicated in
terms of outlining the benefits of the land at Hatton Green.

We have no representation to make on this occasion. This is because the land
allocated in your consultation document does not appear to encroach on the consultation zones of major hazard installations or MAHPs2. If there is no encroachment the HSE does not need to be informed of the next stages in the adoption of the Pre-Submission Draft Local Plan.

The overall vision and objectives of the Plan are supported. The Plan has been positively prepared and its spatial strategy has been developed over a number of years following extensive public consultation. The Council has sought to set out a robust framework over a reasonable time period. The Council's vision to deliver sustainable development by balancing social, economic and environmental imperatives is compliant with the NPPF and is supported. The Council's following objectives are positively prepared and consistent with the NPPF:
* Sustainable levels of growth;
* Well-designed new developments; and,
* Improvements and growth to the District's infrastructure.

The public consultation process has been very poor.
Local drop in sessions at village halls etc were very well attended by the public.
However the experience at Hatton Park was that there were some 150-200 members of the public but only two WDC staff who were unable to provide any detailed answers or definitions.
Many attendees did not get the chance to talk to the WDC staff and left feeling that the process was a waste of time.
Very little notice appears to have been taken of the formal public responses and certainly no reasons given by WDC as to why these responses were dismissed.
Some revisions were made in response to consultation, but at Hatton Park, for example, the proposed housing site (H28) was revised in a major way, with area and housing density changed, without further consultation on such significant changes.
