PLEASE TRY HARDER!

The members have been working hard in an attempt to wade through these document and associated documents trying hard to see if the document could in any way be seen as sound. They have not been able to do this and have asked Mrs Lynette Duncan Head Planner to place their documents into the Council document base. Her response was:

"I have passed your request for the additional documents to be added to the Core Documents List on to the Council . I shall let you know if there is any problem with these requests.  If there is then you will have to add the document to your own submissions where applicable and appropriate." 

We understood the Inspector wanted our input and help to understand the situation, why would there be a problem with these documents which have been in the public domain on our sites?

6th October 2014
SERIOUS CONCERNS OVER THE REVISED DEVELOPMENT MANAGEMENT PLAN SOUNDNESS HAVE BEEN AIRED WITH THE INSPECTORS DEPARTMENT.

Today a large email was shared with the Planning Inspectors Department , The MP and the Press regarding the Soundness of the Development Management Plan Document which is currently with the Inspectors Office.

The Trust has been given 3 hours tomorrow to detail problems with the way the Development Management Plan has been procedurally undertook. The Trust has written to everyone to say that this is not possible as there is to much material  and that the Inspectors Department has already enough material to decide it is not sound. The Trust has been told that the Public and other organizations have until the end of this month to put a statement into the Inspectors office this needs to be copped electronically and in triplicate one which must be an open leaf copy. This puts this process out of reach of the Public and  not democratic.
