Far too little decent communication effort on the part of CDC to make the Local Plan Review process more understandable to the people of the district.
This seems the only place to make a general comment about how complicated all this is for members of the public. Effectively, it is very difficult indeed for people with limited time, understanding of planning jargon, access to information provided about the Plan Review, etc, to understand what is going on and comment effectively. A matter as important as this to all the district's inhabitants should be made more accessible - a minimum action would have been to deliver to every home a short, specific, plain-English document outlining the existing situation and what is proposed - and also giving details of the consultation events. Would have been good, too, if local councillors had approached their constituents pro-actively.
