We are consulting on this document for a 6-week period between 8 April 2013 and 20 May 2013. Please let us know what you like, what you don’t like, and where improvements can be made. Changes are inevitable and we hope that consultation responses can add a greater element of local distinctiveness to each plan.

Within this period, planning officers will be visiting your local area, giving you more opportunity to provide input, and influence future development and infrastructure provision. Visit our web site to see when we will be in your area. We strongly encourage you to use our new on line consultation portal. This is easy to use and the most efficient way of dealing with comments. Log on to our website and, if you need help, just telephone the number below and we will be happy to assist.
