Only 37% of consultees supported the Council’s Vision (at the Issues and Options stage). This is not a ringing endorsement of the ‘vision’ as it stands.

Comments were apparently made that:

1. More clarity was needed around the current housing and employment needs,
2. Unmet housing need from other authorities should be given greater priority, and
3. Definitions of "strategic growth" and “sustainable development needs" should be provided.

These are all legitimate criticisms and should be reflected more in the current SWLP. In particular the current Government now attach much greater importance to strategic planning and the value of a formal co-operation between authorities to deliver housing on a wider canvas. This needs to be built into the SWLP more explicitly.
