We have argued strongly that the SDC portal system (A and B routes above) is unnecessarily complex and off-putting for residents. Anyone who finds this is the case should use the email / postal routes (C and D options above) to give their feedback. Please note SDC are now making the following three point statement regarding content of feedback, so we suggest any objections are headed by you under one or more of these categories, to ensure your objections are processed.
……………………….
1. Legal Compliance – does the plan meet the legal and procedural requirements?
2. Soundness – has the plan been positively prepared, justified, effective and consistent with national policy?
3. Duty to Cooperate – has the Council worked and engaged effectively with both neighbouring authorities and statutory bodies?
……………………….
You don’t need to be an expert in these matters, just put each of your objections under the most appropriate of the above three headings. Arguments you can use are detailed on our website (Notices: Update on the proposed new town development between Escrick & Stillingfleet - 19th August) and the Halt Heronby group website www.haltheronby.co.uk
