Revised Development Strategy

Representation ID: 53101

Received: 17/07/2013

Respondent: John Murphy

Representation Summary:

This level is much too high - there have been several more realistic proposals put forward over the last year or so and they have clearly been ignored. You are relying on "studies" which lack credibility and would appear to be a defensive knee-jerk reaction. It is not long since WDC imposed an embargo on new development and development in villages was forbidden - and that was presumably based on "studies". I want a WDC that applies some real RIGOUR to this assessment and then delivers what its residents want and need - rather than pandering to a picky inspector!
