Older and visually impaired members of a community may be adversely impacted by your consultation proposals if they are not actively involved in one of the defined consultation bodies. Individuals are encouraged to sign up to receive information on planning policy and planning applications but in the main many only are interested when a policy or application may directly affect them.
Older people may be uncomfortable using technology to access your website to obtain information. Visually impaired individuals may pass notices in public locations or outside a proposed development site several times but not pick up on planning proposals.
