Testun llawn:
My objections are:
1) WDC have failed to fulfil their statutory duty to consult neighbouring Local Authorities. I have demonstrated this through Freedom of Information requests to all neighbouring authorities, the results of which have been previously been given to WDC but are reattached to this email
2) There is not a proven need for this site or any other. The GTAA produced by Salford University in 2012 is riddled with errors, inconsistencies and flaws and cannot be considered as safe or sound. I have previously supplied Tracey Darke and Dave Barbour a copy of my analysis of the GTAA which shows all of these problems (this is attached to this email). WDC have not had the GTAA reviewed by an independent external party and so cannot maintain its position that the GTAA is sound
3) The entire process for selecting Gypsy and Traveller sites has been flawed and has demonstrated great inconsistency in the application of NPFF and DCLG requirements and guidelines , it is clear that this is continuing in terms of the criteria applied to the proposed Stratford Road site. The whole process should be re-started and executed correctly
