This follows and is related to my previously sent MM0 Main Modifications submission in which I commented on representations that were completely omitted from the enquiry by NHDC.

This additional item is related to the completely omitted submissions and I wish it to also be brought to the Inspector's notice once again at this point.

It is the fact that the NHDC website portal was extremely unreliable. There were several occasions when people were unable to forward comments as the website was 'out of order'! I was one of its frustrated complainants! I contacted NHDC several times by telephone, about the unsuitable position it was leaving everyone in and they agreed that the site was, at that time inadequate and they were 'in the throws' of it being sorted out. I also complained via e mail, replies from NHDC which I still have.

Therefore, not only have many people's comments been IGNORED, but because of the website difficulties referred to, there were probably actually many more UNSUBMITTED! Not everyone has the luxury of having enough time to keep trying to catch when the site is open!

Whether this was a ploy to deter people or a true situation, only NHDC knows!

Nevertheless ERRATIC WEBSITE plus IGNORED AND THEREFORE UNCONSIDERED written representations provide an UNFAIR AND DETRIMENTAL OUTCOME to this enquiry.
