Babergh Consultation Form - Notes for Guidance

1. Why should I use this form? It is essential to use this form because it provides the Council with the basic information needed for speedy and effective handling of your objection to, or representation in support of, the proposed Modifications to the Babergh Local Plan alteration No 2 or to those recommendations that the Inspector has made that the Council does not agree with. Please use a separate form for each objection or representation and write your name and address clearly on each. You can obtain more forms from: Babergh District Council, Corks Lane, Hadleigh, Suffolk IP7 6SJ or Sudbury Advice Centre, Town Hall, Market Place, Sudbury, Suffolk CO10 6TL or by telephoning Sue Dawes at Babergh District Council, 01473 825872. You may photocopy this form as many times as you need. The form is also available to download as a blank form to fill in, or you may complete it online on Babergh District Council’s website, www.babergh-south-suffolk.gov.uk Please send one copy of the form to: Rich Cooke, Acting Head of Planning Policy & Economic Development, Babergh District Council, Corks Lane, Hadleigh, Suffolk IP7 6SJ (Please make a copy for your records as we do not have the resources available to return copies of forms to you). When we receive your form it will be acknowledged with a reference number for future correspondence.
 

2. What can I make comments on? At this stage you can only make representations on the modifications the Council is proposing to make, and on the Inspector’s recommendations that the Council does not accept. You cannot make representations on material that has remained unchanged as a result of the Inspector’s report.
 

3. When should I make my representations? Please complete all sections in clear writing using black ink, or in a clear typeface such as Arial or Times New Roman fonts, and return completed forms no later than 5 p.m. on 1st March 2006. Representations made after that date will not be considered by the Council.
 

4. What will happen to my representation? All representations will be logged and acknowledged, and a copy will be made available for inspection at the Council offices so that other people may know about them. They cannot be treated as confidential. All representations will be carefully considered and reported to the Council’s Strategy Committee and full Council meeting following the end of the consultation period. If you need help or advice on completing the form please telephone Sue Dawes at Babergh District Council, 01473 825872.
