How sensible is this Consultation ??

The Derbyshire Dales & High Peak proposal for housing development under the Joint Core Proposal is based on growth targets from the previous government. The consultation ends on 15 July and later that same month, new central government guidelines for housing are expected. So, it is likely that the proposals will need to be revised. We have established from a HPBC representative that under these circumstances, a fresh consultation will be required.

Surely this consultation could have waited until the new government guidelines ?
In a time of spending cuts, look at this for an example of inefficient spending !
