given that the consultation deadline is the 14th October, I expect that ALGAO and other respondants will make good use of the available time to collate and produce a robust and well thought out response. Speed is overrated in this instance - as we have seen (IfA anyone?!).
I'm not a 'member' of ALGAO because they don't have individual members (but thanks MB for a sensible comment anyway). ALGAO is a bit like the Local Government Association (or RAO / RO) in that the organisation is a member. On BAJR I speak for neither ALGAO, IfA, or my employer, but for myself.
ALGAO have, though, through the active involvement of their membership provided responses which have played a key role in shaping current policy, this is just a plain fact as anyone who followed PPS5 from draft to publication would understand. I find PP's comments and sniping as such quite inexplicable. What would you have done differently ?
The key question in relation to the NPPF is: what are we losing? As it is essentially an over-distillation of PPS5 etc
