We believe the Consultation is premature, as the Regional Spatial Strategy Inspection in Public has
only just finished, and it will be many months before the inspector's report is published. The
Consultation should follow on and respond to these findings.
We realise that the Council is under pressure from government policies to allocate more new
development within the district than perhaps it would ideally prefer. We would encourage the
authority to resist such pressure especially as excessive development in the District will undermine
the main objective of the Regional Spatial Strategy to regenerate the major urban centres in the
region.
