The minutes reflect that:
The Leader of the Independent Group stated that whilst the Plan had been judged sound by the Inspector, he considered that there were flaws in relation to Policies SL1-SL18 in respect of parcels of land allocated for development and their proposed densities. Development in these areas would be contentious and strongly opposed by residents who perceived the Local Plan did not support them. Particular mention was made of the Brox End Nursery site.
