This publicity period is more formal than the previous four consultations, as the Planning Inspectorate dictates the specific questions we must ask relating to the soundness and legality of the plan.While you are free to comment in any way you choose, to ensure you have the greatest influence at this stage it is advisable to relate comments to the soundness and legality of the plan. We have prepared a guidance note and video clip to help explain the process in more detail.
How to comment:
The publicity period runs from today until 5pm on Wednesday 22 November 2017 and you can provide your comments in the following ways:
