But stand to be corrected by anyone who understands it better than me!

The council had to provide a 'list' of suitably sized sites they owned.

Also had sites in adswood and reddish where potential of land for housing would be less than some other areas.

Nothing more, nothing less.

No supermarket theories, scaremongering etc.

That would be a great contribution from Marple folk

Yawn.

I agree completely with you gaz, but I thought when I started this post it might be a bit more interesting than just changing a 'letter'!
