Representations
The Council published the Sites Submission document in February. The period for comment closed on the 6 April. The representations received are available to view online in the Sites Submission document using the LDF Online Consultation (see 'Related Links').
In some cases the representation has been summarised. The original/complete representations are available to view on a CD at main libraries, listed below and at the Council offices Planning Service Newton Bar Wakefield. The CD is ordered by 'Comment ID' reference which is essential to find a particular representation. Comment IDs can be found in the Sites Submission document using the LDF Online Consultation.
