'Take action' NOW

Peterborough City Council have started consultation on a NEW local Plan.

It is important to respond NOW, as the responses will shape the draft Local Plan, issued next summer (June /July 2024) for further consultation, which by then will include site recommendations for housing and employment development.

The timescale for the planning process is shown below

Deadline is 15th September

Speaking on behalf of PRP, Martin asked the Planning Committee to ask 3 important questions (2017)

1.       Why are Officers recommending inclusion of ‘Great Kyne’ in the Local Plan when it directly contradicts 7 (Seven) of its own policies, related to development in the Countryside?

2.       Why have Officers chosen the site, which by their own definition, has the highest risk of environmental and serious social harm?

3.       Why is Peterborough even thinking about losing ‘best landscape’ forever ………just to keep Cambridgeshire County Council happy? (with the 2013 deal to take 2,500 of County Council's housing allocation)
