If you would like to read some background on Local Plans before taking part in the consultation which opens next week , we recommend that you read the excellent CPRE leaflet “Planning Explained” which is available on this link. We are at step 5 on page 44. Note that it suggests that if you have made a comment in an earlier consultation but don’t feel that it has been taken into account, you should make the point again as the Planning Inspector will see all representations made at this stage. You will need to state whether or not the plan is “sound”. This leaflet attempts to explain what that means. https://planninghelp.cpre.org.uk/resources/publications
