I spoke to someone on the Council, he said that they are pleasantly surprised how few valid objections (many were submitted wrongly, in the wrong place, etc) there have been on the LDP and they feel that this shows how the public broadly supports their “direction of travel” (his words). They were surprised that even some of the larger developments (e.g. Gatewen Road) received relatively few objections. Also, many of the objections which were submitted were of a “NIMBY” nature, which will be treated with less credence.
