A Neighbourhood plan ? is a '' community led initiative giving communities power ( ha ha ha ) to prepare a planning document ( ha ha ha ) that include a shared vision ( ha ha ha ) for their neighbourhood''. What a load of rubbish!
The only place you planners look is in the trough and the sooner you get your heads out of the trough the sooner the people who live and work in the area will be represented properly.
It is your job to plan for the area, so why have we a massive development at one end of Gamlingay, ( Station Road ) another proposed at Green End,that together will put at least another 1000 cars in the village, with nowhere for the traffic to go ? people have trouble getting in and out of Gamlingay as it is. You are heading for gridlock !
Also planning laws etc should and must take into account the people who live in the area. Calling an existing neighbourhood a '' neighbourhood area'' is stupid and unnecessary. The only '' formal weight '' in deciding planning applications is the Gold the developers will heap into your coffers and pockets ( Tons and Tons ) and the ignorance displayed by local planners ( equivalent to the weight of Mars, where the idea probably originated ) ,both in local projects and in imagining " Neighbourhood area's" are new .
The thought that the "community can effect planning departments ( jobs for life ) or developers ( build at any cost to the neighbourhood ) is a joke!
Have a nice day.

You cannot control the borders of our country so what makes you think the boundaries you propose will have any effect on any plans? This proposed project is a total waste of time and money.
You have and will have no control at all over what goes on inside or outside of your proposed boundary. You will do what you are told, what is politically correct and what pays the most. You have no control.
Have a nice day.
