Consultation Statement

The council undertook a first round of public consultation for twelve weeks from 3 May to 26 July 2019.

Following the consultation, the council set up a Community Partnership Forum with representatives from a Community Consortium who submitted an alternative plan to the consultation.

The aim of the forum was to better align the draft masterplan with the alternative plan.

The council undertook a second round of public consultation between 4 March and 15 April 2022 to enable the wider community, beyond the forum, to comment on the redrafted masterplan.

In all planning documents we produce, we always make sure we have the appropriate contact details, including the email address and telephone number, and state that the council will communicate documents in a suitable way to all audiences.

In addition to the online documents, requests for a document in alternative formats will be considered on a case-by-case basis including large print, another language, and type talk.

Once specific requests are made via email or a phone call, planning officers act within a reasonable timeframe (normally 14 working days), to make sure all reasonable customer requests are met and are recorded to comply with the Planning and Regeneration Customer Charter.
