It was clarified that the published Annexes
A–E had been supplied by Chipping Campden and had already
been consulted on. It was noted that a policies map was missing,
and this was subsequently rectified. Annex G was provided as a note
to the examiner to explain the situation regarding the policies
map, as that document had not been subjected to public
consultation.
 
The officer noted that two proposed Local
Green Spaces included highway land, which was normally excluded,
particularly as the highways authority had not been consulted. One
was a small roundabout with a mature tree, and the other was an

Annex J contained procurement terms and
