Review of Rushcliffe Greenbelt Ends in 26 Days, We Are Still waiting to hear from Rushcliffe Local Development Office

We have been in touch with Rushcliffe Borough Council to ask why we have not been informed about the Rushcliffe Greenbelt Review that is currently ongoing. Having discovered the Greenbelt Review as a part of the Rushcliffe Plan by accident whilst hunting the council website for details on the plans to build up to 2055 houses, we contacted the council on 6th July to raise our concerns over the Rushcliffe Community Plan, the review of our Greenbelt land and the lack of consultation with the Radcliffe on Trent Community thus far.

We asked them on 6th July to confirm their plans to distribute this information to the general public. They are as yet to get back in touch. Considering that this review is already well under way, having opened on 17 June 2013, this is rather worrying. If we are to really have our say as a community, then we should know something about this already, not stumble upon it when it is already half way through what is supposed to be the public consultation phase.

As of today, there are only 26 days of this consultation phase remaining, despite the fact that it started 26 days ago. We are now half way through a public consultation phase that we are as yet to be consulted on.

We contacted the Council again yesterday to follow this up, but as we are still waiting a response on this specific issue, despite making this initial request a week ago, we will update you as soon as we hear anything.

What you can do: Contact the council directly via email on at: localdevelopment@rushcliffe.gov.uk to ask them when they are planning to share this information with our community at Radcliffe on Trent and make sure that you sign our petition here. It takes less than 20 seconds to complete.
