A reminder to residents to send in your Strengths/Weaknesses/Opportunities/Threats comments for the N’hood Plan by Friday and to comment on Gladman’s inquiry into the refusal of 119 houses on ShearBrook by the 15th. Inquiry Ref 3129954 and click ‘Make representation’
It’s interesting to read Gladman’s take on the N’hood Plan, written in April in response to the consultation process:
“To undertake a Neighbourhood Plan when the implication of the Inspector’s views on housing numbers is not yet known is illogical and will lead to the Plan being out of date before it is even adopted. This represents both a waste of Parish Council and CECs time and resources. In the absence of an adopted Local Plan to provide the strategic context for the area it is therefore hard to see how the Parish Council can successfully progress with a Neighbourhood Plan at this time….” read the whole letter.. Gladman Goostrey- Neighbourhood Plan area designation – GDL representations
Conversely, “in the absence of an adopted Local Plan to provide the strategic context for the area it is therefore hard to see how” ———- Gladman can successfully progress a Planning Application or Appeal!!!!
Unfortunately they can with great ease thanks to the National Planning Policy Framework.
