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><BR><BR><I><B>John
