Any negative responses made during this consultation period will not be counted as objections to the proposal but as adverse comments.
Objections to a proposal can only be registered after the publication of a statutory notice which is the second stage in the proposal.
The consultation will end at midnight, Friday 13 September 2019
What happens next?
At the end of the consultation period, a consultation report will be prepared which summarises the consultation and engagement process, the comments received and the council's response to these comments.
The Leader of the council will then consider the views expressed and decide whether to proceed with the proposal.
If the decision is taken to proceed, a statutory notice will be published.
The statutory notice period will last for 28 days following the date of publication and enables people to express their views in the form of supporting or objecting to the proposals.
If no objections are received following the publication of the statutory notice, the Leader of the council will make the final decision as to whether to proceed.
