The Council held a series of special CAT meetings in areas closeby to the development site allocated to Welborne. This was part of a consultation process which started on 10 January 2017 and lasted until 10 April 2017. In April 2017 the Council received an Outline Planning Application for up to 6,000 homes at Welborne Garden Village. The public meetings focused on the main proposals of the planning application, the types of issues that the Council will consider when assessing the application and how people can have their say.

Two special CAT meetings took place to update residents on the changes to the planning application.
