The Local Plan was voted on at the Full Council meeting, and the the result was:

In favor to adopt the the Local Plan.

We are devastated at this result.
We will now take stock of our options and will be report back here as soon as possible.


Now that this examination has concluded, and we all agree that the result is a massive disappointment to the community.

Our campaign will now move to a process of Oversight, Scrutiny, Vetting, Audit and Answerability.

The baseline checking for the campaign starts with SP8 Main Modifications. At each stage we will process the proposals, the debates, and actions against the criteria contained within the Main Modifications and we will lobby all councillors where we can prove that they are failing to deliver the Main Modification to the Local Plan.
