Please refer to the following as my OBJECTIONS to the Specific Section of the Preferred Options Booklet
Part of the document which I am responding to: - PO4 Location 11
Heading: - Woodside Farm, Tachbrook Road.
I OBJECT FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS:-
Judging from the number of objections on the web site, it is clear that the greater public are not aware of the impact the overall plan will have, and accordingly this applies to each individual section of the overall plan.
The web site is very confusing and complicated with too much 'council planning speak' and not enough plain language that people can understand.
It is difficult to get down to the point of detail that affects each individual who may have an objection.
The result is that most people who should be lodging objections simply do not bother. This is not a democratic process if most people do not even know about it.
Every house should have received full details of the effect on the area that they are within. Do not assume that everyone has a computer or reads the free papers.
It is the responsibility of the WDC to ensure everyone is informed. It is too serious an issue to be dealt with in the manner that this information has been made available. WDC have failed miserably in this respect.
Changes to Plan:
Put the plan on hold until everyone has had a fair chance through full consultation.
There is ample evidence even without this full consultation to block it.
WDC planners must start to listen and take positive action to valid objections and not simply pay lip service.
The public will not be fobbed off with threats that the government will over-ride the WDC if they do not come up with a viable plan. Governments can and will change within the time scale of the plan, particularly if they make more bad decisions.
