Stop the current Local Development Plan (Regulation 19) consultation and restart it only AFTER advising residents that they are invited to comment on any aspect of the plan
The RBWM Head of Planning sent a letter dated 27 June 2017,
Andrew Cormie, limiting comments on the Reg 19 Consultation.
The Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government has
responded on 17th July 2017 to a request by Andrew Cormie, advising
that there is no limitation at the second stage - (so-called Reg
19) as to what topics of the plan residents may comment upon. He
points out that the Reg 19 stage is the first opportunity that
anyone would have to request involvement in the hearing sessions
for the Local Plan.
I have asked Head of Planning to stop the consultation, restarting
after giving proper advice, and received no response. In order to
stop it I therefore call, through this petition, for the matter to
be discussed at an RBWM Planning and Housing Overview and Scrutiny
Panel meeting, at which the Head of Planning must be questioned.
Under the RBWM Constitution Rule C10.37, I wish that the Lead
Member for Planning will also be questioned at the meeting.
I urge all residents to sign this petition.
