Liberal Democrats lodge objections to Labours Local Plan

Liberal Democrat Councillors have submitted comprehensive objections to Labours plan to expand the size of the City by 25% over the next 15 years.

The party is looking for a more sustainable approach to growth in population, jobs and homes.

The submission – which can be read by clicking this link http://tinyurl.com/LibDem-Council-Group-LP-view – casts doubt on the list of brownfield housing sites included in the report.

The Council’s list seems to exclude over 6000 possible brownfield development opportunities.

Mean while local Dringhouses and Woodthorpe Councillor Ann Reid has formally objected to development which is planned for in west of the City.

All comments on the proposals have to be received by the Council TODAY (Wednesday 31st July).

They should be emailed to localplan@york.gov.uk
