It should be made clear if any development on green open space is being considered ball park figures of break downs of costs if that information exists.

Consult 2. All consultation presentations will be available on-line as they are offline with an open comments areas administered only to remove inappropriate comments. It may be that a required login attached to an address should be used.

Consult 4. Consultation questionnaires will specifically include agree / disagree to each primary aspect.

Consult 5.
