Hi Jeff,
Interesting your last sentence – we used Nigel McGurk for advice on finalising our NP and he was very useful to us – we are again using him to brief our QC to fight an appeal in April in Chapel-en-le-Frith Town Hall for 200+ houses.
We also had similar problems with developers saying our NP was wrongly drawn up and that we should wait until our LPA produced their Local Plan !!
Regards to all
Guy
