Dear All<br>
<br>
Further to my email this morning, I can report that the draft of the
official SODC response sounds very robust and calls for the proposal
to be removed completely from the plan.<br>
<br>
I can't share the details at this stage as I've not seen them in
writing, but all of the points you have made are covered, plus some
further ones - including the view that, even if it was appropriate
to safeguard the land, it's not possible for Vale to do it for land
outside their boundary (as I suspected).<br>
<br>
As soon as the letter has been through it's sign-off process
(thankfully very short), I shall let you have a copy so that you are
completely clear where SODC stands.<br>
<br>
Regards<br>
<br>
John<br>
