I find the idea of using iterative evidence studies in shaping the Local Plan rather worrisome. It suggests an ongoing commitment to change, which may obfuscate essential information that residents need to participate meaningfully in local governance. The Local Plan should foster a sense of direction and confidence, not uncertainty. When evidence is in a constant state of flux, the opportunity for meaningful dialogue diminishes. I strongly advocate for a clearer communication strategy that keeps the community informed about developments while ensuring that revisions are well documented and accessible.
