Following these meetings the Council applied to the Secretary of State for a Direction and forwarded the Parish and Town Council comments to be considered when making the Direction.
The Secretary of State has now made a Direction. With the exception of Policy GE4 relating to flooding issues, the Secretary of State has agreed with the Council on the policies it was proposed to ‘save’ and the policies it was considered could be deleted. She considered Policy GE4 was covered by provisions in PPS25 and therefore that policy could be deleted.
