Publication Plan November 2022

Representation ID: 4214

Respondent: Lower Penn Parish Council

Legally compliant? Not specified

Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? Not specified

Representation Summary:

Public consultation on the plan has not been inclusive or accessible. Residents who are not computer literate have been excluded from the plan process. Barely any copies of the quarterly magazine with the 2021 consultation were received. Online sessions have been wholly unenlightening due to format. The 2021 consultation only achieved a 3.5% response rate. The references to external documents and technical terminology in the plan are not easily understood. Online consultation system was overly complex and Site 582 was rarely, if at all, referenced by Parish name.

Representation Summary:

Substantial failings taken in the approach to public consultation and engagement with key stakeholders. Withholding vitally important and key pieces of information (e.g. representation previously received 12 months ago by the LPA to the Autumn 2021 Preferred Options Stage Report public consultation) from the public domain, placing members of the public, community pressure groups, local businesses, rural landowners, Duty to Co-operate partners, and other key stakeholders at a considerable disadvantage when trying to respond to this latest November 2022 Publication Stage Report consultation.
Planning Policy webpage insufficiently clear. Impossible to locate Publication Stage Report (Regulation 19) (November 2022) public consultation document on the Council’s webpage.
It is near on impossible to locate the South Staffordshire District Council’s Publication Stage Report (November 2022) public consultation document on the Council’s Planning Policy webpage. In order to achieve effective public consultation, the document should be clearly viewable on the Council’s Planning Policy webpage. This is not the case.
The above issues will place local communities, the local South Staffordshire business community and other key stakeholders at a considerable disadvantage when trying to respond to the Plan.

Representation Summary:

Consultation Portal (Opus Consult) Local Plan consultation

Have concerns in relation to the use of the Consultation Portal (Opus Consult) which is being used by the Council to support Local Plan preparation. The Local Plans Consultation Portal (Opus Consult) is unclear and highly confusing for members of the public, community pressure groups, local businesses and other key stakeholders. The Consultation Portal is not fit-for-purpose.
This creates a highly restrictive approach and forms a barrier to effective community engagement. These types of public consultation portals, which are both highly ineffective and unnecessarily complex, are not effective ways for Local Planning Authorities (LPA’s) to consult local communities for Local Plan Reviews.

Representation Summary:

Local communities, Duty-to-co-operate contacts and other key stakeholders have been fully obstructed by the LPA from viewing the earlier Representations made by respondents to the Autumn 2021 Preferred Options Stage Report earlier public consultation stage, which closed 12 months ago on the 13th December 2021.
The Council has failed to place the Representations received to the earlier Autumn 2021 public consultation stage for the Preferred Options Stage Report (November 2021) Local Plan consultation which closed on the 13th December 2021 within the public domain. This is not a proper, fair and reasonable way for a Local Planning Authority to conduct a Local Plan Review, and is in direct conflict with the approach expected by paragraph 16 (indent c) of the Revised NPPF (2021).
This highly obstructive approach taken towards Local Plan preparation (by fully withholding key pieces of information from the public domain over an extended 12 month period – e.g. fully withholding all of the Preferred Options Report (November 2021) Representations from the public domain during the last 12 months) has placed Duty-to-co-operate partners and the other key stakeholders referred to above at a considerable disadvantage when trying to respond to this latest Autumn 2022 Regulation 19 public consultation stage.
This underlines the ongoing failure and continued incompetence of the Council in relation to its approach taken towards Local Plan-preparation and its failure to sufficiently involve key stakeholder in the Local Plan making process.
As a planning consultancy and key stakeholder, we strongly object to the way that we have been obstructed and totally excluded from the Local Plan making process by the Council, by not being able to view the earlier Representations made to the earlier Preferred Options Stage Report (November 2021) public consultation

Representation Summary:

The Publication Stage Report (Regulation 19) public consultation stage is being undertaken on the run up to the Christmas holiday period and during the middle of a December 2022 UK wide postal strike

We are surprised that the Council’ has decided to undertake this critically important public consultation stage over the Christmas holiday period. The public consultation stage closes on the 23rd December 2022 just one day away from Christmas day. Running a critically important Local Plan consultation over the Christmas holiday period will have a damaging impact on key stakeholder engagement and will have a detrimental effect on public participation rates.
The public consultation stage is also taking place during the middle of a UK wide postal strike.
