The Inspector examined the soundness of our Core Strategy, there were times when was is necessary for the inspector to seek clarification from us to assist his understanding of the task at hand.
We were never in direct communication with the inspector but instead queries were channelled through the Programme Officer, Mr Ian Kemp. For transparency purposes and in an effort to keep representatives fully informed of such dialogue, the questions posed to us, together with their responses are detailed within the following document.
