Subject: Making a representation

Dear Mr Lello

Please see the form which can be downloaded and saved from this link:

http://www.shepway.gov.uk/content/view/200313/206/

You will see after the promotion of the internet site (portal) there are two forms – in pdf or Word IT versions depending on your preference.

Please email back to planning.policy@shepway.gov.uk by Friday as discussed.

This is the government’s expression of the rules against which it will be assessed:

Soundness

To be “sound” a core strategy should be JUSTIFIED, EFFECTIVE and consistent with NATIONAL POLICY.           

“Justified” means that the document must be:

• Founded on a robust and credible evidence base
• The most appropriate strategy when considered against the reasonable alternatives

“Effective” means that the document must be:

• Deliverable
• Flexible
• Able to be monitored
