We are currently working through a backlog of responses. Your representation will still be acknowledged, published and taken into account.
An extension of the public consultation is now taking place. This is due to an unintentional omission of Site 83 from the list of candidate sites

We will assess all the comments received and make amendments to the Plan and Site Assessments accordingly. We will also present a draft list of Preferred Sites alongside reports justifying the draft list and how your comments were taken into account.
The above will then undergo a further public consultation under Regulation 19 of the Town and Country Planning (Local Planning) (England) Regulations 2012 (as amended).
It is not possible to provide a precise date for this consultation as this will depend on the extent of the issues received and the nature of the amendments required. Without prejudice, it is currently anticipated that the Regulation 19 consultation may take place in late 2024 or early 2025.
