Local Plan 2015-2030 Preferred Options for Consultation
Representation ID: 992
Received: 02/10/2013
Respondent: Mrs Gemma Houghton
Representation Summary:
Concern of lack of timely and thorough community consultation.
Heard about proposals through the West Horndon Facebook community forum.
Council issued letters did reach their address nor their neighbours.
10 week consultation period may be an acceptable under less controversial circumstances, due to the complexity of the plans for our village and how incredibly sensitive the matter is. This consultation period should have been far longer in order for residents to have sufficient time to review the proposals, make an informed decision and respond to the council in a timely manner.
