This week I submitted a response to the Tendring District Council (TDC) Local Plan Review Regulation 18 consultation. The Local Plan must be driven by infrastructure deliverability.

Highways and healthcare improvements must be delivered alongside development, and critical projects, like the Manningtree underpass, need to be completed first.
