The campaign will inform, explain and keep local residents in touch with developments. The planning process on a scheme of this scale is highly complex. We will explain in plain English what is proposed and the implications.
To show the decision makers the strength of opposition
Surely we can safely leave it to our local councillors, the various quangos, the professional planners and the Government to make the right decisions? No - you know more about the area in which you live and what is good for it than most of the experts. Happily the decision makers invite public consultation and want to know your views. The public's views do matter and the planning process specifically requires them to be taken into account. If you're unhappy about the proposed new town you must say so now. Tomorrow may be too late.
With the necessary financial support the campaign can employ lawyers and planning experts to appear at a public inquiry held by an inspector and oppose the grant of planning permission
