Tell us what you think

Tell us your views about the big issues and main sites in the plan using our quick questionnaire. 

This is anonymous, so if you represent a group, organisation, developer or landowner, we recommend you do not use this survey - please use the detailed comment process below.  

Please leave detailed comments on individual policies or site proposals using the comment points (blue speech bubbles) on each page of this digital Plan. This requires you to login (or register, if you are not already a user.) This method allows you to leave longer comments and add attachments, and it means we can get in touch with you if we have any questions. You can comment on all or just some parts of the Plan.  

We have provided a downloadable Word document to assist you in preparing detailed responses, but please do not email this to us – please input your responses using the online system.  Once you have used the Word document to draft your responses, please cut and paste the text for each policy you wish to comment on, into the comment form on the corresponding policy webpage.

We would be grateful if you avoided emailing us comments or documents, as we will have to manually enter them into the consultation system and ascribe them to policies or sites. If you have difficulty using our online system, please contact us to discuss how to submit comments via email or post. 

If you wish to comment on a site that has not been taken forward into the First Proposals, please comment against the policy for allocations in the relevant broad location. For example, to comment on rejected sites in the rural southern cluster area, comment on Policy S/RSC – Other site allocations in the rural southern cluster.

If you wish to submit a new site for consideration at the next plan-making stage, or to update information about a site you previously the Call for Sites in 2019-20, use our online site information form. This is for landowners, developers and their agents only. 

We will take all comments into account while developing the next version of the Plan, and we will report on this in the

Document which provides information about the consultation undertaken and how feedback has been taken into account in preparing the Local Plan. It is updated at each stage of plan making.

which is updated at each stage.  

Responses, including names for comments submitted by registered users, will be available to view on the Councils’ websites. Our privacy notice for planning policy consultations and notifications sets out how your personal data will be used and by whom. For more information please view our privacy statement. 

If you want to know more about how to comment and how we take comments into account, please join our webinar about the comment process. 

In the same way as making detailed comments on the First Proposals, you can comment on the Sustainability Appraisal and Habitats Regulations Assessment documents.

You can view these documents in the document library, and you can comment online on the Evidence informing the new Local Plan section.
