I would also like to take this opportunity to raise concerns about the inadequate consultation period. I'm sure that the Council is only to aware that the vast majority of residents strongly object to greenbelt development and can only assume that this is the reason that the Council has sought to let the draft plan be approved unnoticed by the general public. The leaflet posted by the Council was obviously an after thought due to the outcry about the poor consultation. It was distributed far too late in the process and most residents will mistake it for a pizza menu and bin it accordingly. All residents should have been formally written to months ago, the Council is not reticent to use this approach when collecting Council Tax and statistics for calculating council tax.
