Site Allocation Representations on K+20: Kingston Town Centre Area Action Plan
The Council submitted the Kingston Town Centre Area Action Plan (K+20) to the Secretary of State on 25 May 2007. A six week period for representations to be submitted ran until 6 July 2007.
The Council received a number of responses which referred to site allocations in the plan and has undertaken a statutory consultation on them. People were invited to say whether or not they supported the representations. The consultation finished on 12 September 2007 and responses to this consultation can be viewed using the link at the bottom of this page.
The site allocation representations, which were the subject of this consultation, are summarised in the table below, while actual copies of the representations are also available via the links at the bottom of this page.
