Respondent: Mr R Tyler

Legally compliant? No

Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? Not specified

Representation Summary:

I object to the draft proposals under Reg 19 on the basis that the plan’s preparation is not compliant with the regulations and must therefore be outside the law.

Reg 18 stated that Aylsham would have ONE housing allocation site (300 dwellings). Consultation took place. Reg 19 states that there will be TWO housing sites (550 dwellings). This massive increase, possibly a 83.3% uplift in housing numbers has never been consulted upon. It should have been.

The proposals are not sound as Reg 19 fails to consider the impact of the two sites (550 dwellings) on the carbon footprint, societal aspects, nor the infrastructure needs of Aylsham including utilities, roads, health facilities and schools.

In addition to the above specific points I make the general point that seemingly ignoring or even overriding the consultation process destroys trust between the governed and the governors. It also really irritates the electorate.
