Botley SPD – the 2nd consultation results

I decided to explore what the consultation responses held, and the link to those is here:

https://consult.southandvale.gov.uk/portal/vale/planning/pol/botley_spd/botley_centre_draft_spd?tab=list

The first consultation had over 300 responses; this time there are only 38. Consultation fatigue has set in. For people conserving their energy for the main thing, which is the planning application due later on this month, a second consultation on this SPD, when their first responses were largely ignored, was just too much.

Many of the respondents sent a letter (either instead of responding to the online questionnaire, or in addition to it), which can be accessed under each entry.

You might want to have a quick read of some of these. They tell quite a story.
