1) The process followed by WDC has not complied with NPPF and DCLG guidelines.
2) Specifically there is strong evidence that Council Officers misled Councillors in a report to Council in Feb 2014.
3) It is demonstrable that WDC failed to meet their statutory obligation to co-operate with and consult neighbouring authorities. This is shown by responses to Freedom of Information requests I made in May 2014.
4) The assessment of the need for sites is based on a GTAA which is significantly and demonstrably flawed and in no way provides the required "robust" base of evidence to support the need.
