The alternative options are for Gedling Borough Council not to respond to the consultation or to amend the drafted response. There is no requirement for the Council to respond to this public consultation but doing so will inform the Government’s planning reform proposals from the Council’s perspective. The draft response provided has been informed by the relevant Council Officers and can be amended if the Portfolio Holder considers it necessary to do so.
