Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? No

There was no involvement with neighbourhoods, local organisations and businesses and there has been no meaningful co-operation by WDC following approaches by these groups. In summary there have been no changes to the intention to build an exaggerated number of houses in inappropriate areas in the south of the district. There was never an alternative plan despite many requests to consider such. WDC planners have resisted every attempt to negotiate on the number of houses and allocated sites.
Objectors to the Local Plan have attempted to make retrospective engagement that should have taken place at an early stage. Despite a massive amount of work by a responsible committee of Councillors Group Leaders and representatives of the public, WDC senior officers will not cooperate
