In Environment & Development Service committee we have twice voted against the local plan as we do not believe that there is an equal spread of housing across the district.  Most of the developments planned are in the Urban Core of the district, including our ward and also the Stenson Fields ward.  We also feel that as something that is so important to us all in South Derbyshire, the consultation should have been advertised through a more traditional method such as a newsletter to ensure that everybody would be aware.  We have posted newsletters to various areas in the village, mainly to those most affected by proposed development, but can not reach everyone.
