As I begin the lengthy process of reading Mace’s plans, I’ve decided to post my comments in several chunks of critiques. That’s instead of saving them all to the end and putting them in one lengthy (and tiring) response. I know officers would rather we put them all in at once. I find it’s just too much to hold on to, and I become discouraged. So I’m going to approach it in a way that better suits me.

On consultations: During the consultation for the Botley SPD I had such serious concerns about procedures not being followed, that I convinced Vale to investigate it. For example, the Statement of Community Involvement says the Evidence Base is to be published before the consultation. It wasn’t, and that handicapped us from responding comprehensively. For another example, not all serious concerns got an equally serious response from Vale.

West Way Community Concern are simply the best at keeping the information and communications flowing, so you can rely on them for help whether you support these development plans or object to them. See the latest on their website:https://westwayconcern.wordpress.com/
