Do you advise that I endeavour to complete the consultation trying to use the existing website or to wait and see if I get some reply from the Applicant or Thanet District Council that results in a website that is navigable, shows whole images and text in the browser and is generally fit for purpose?
Advice given
I was copied in to this afternoon’s response from Thanet District Council. I hope this provides you with some reassurance about the local authority’s role in considering and making representations about the adequacy of the Applicant’s Pre-application consultation.
Without deflecting from the website problems that you report, the Statement of Community Consultation does include details of other means by which the consultation documentation may be accessed. I understand that these means may not be convenient to you (or other members of the community), but they do provide a channel for you to access the full suite of documents and make a fully informed response to them. Alternatively it may be worth contacting the Applicant to ask for a copy of the consultation documents on CD or USB drive.
