Preferred Options for Sites

Representation ID: 63879

Received: 25/03/2014

Respondent: Mr Albert James Scott

Representation Summary:

Doubt about evidence base.
Ordinary people can't suggest alternatives to Green Belt sites. If there are no options, consultation is PR exercise.

You say you have to provide these sites the evidence having been gathered by Salford University whose used gypsies to do the ground work. York City checked the evidence and rejected it.
Make sure you have your facts right as there is only a requirement to provide sites if there is a PROVEN need. You are affecting many more people by providing sites than not providing sites.
You say your suggested sites are because of the Green Belt and ask for alternatives. Ordinary people do not know the alternatives so why are you not telling us?
You are supposed to be our friends not our keepers. If there are no alternatives your preferred options enquiry is a PR exercise.
Support your residents.
Surely that is what you are there for.
