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.
