Richard, Is your liberal use of circles a conscious reflection on the progress many of us have made on our LDFs?

Hello Robert, Reflecting the lack of progess through the use of circles wasn't my intention although it could well have been! The intention was to create a structure which looked quite organic eg a flower head...

Hi Richard, I like the crisp look and feel to your diagram, looks very professional - to a standard that with various advertising out there, the public has come to expect. I have always liked the Planning Portal "clickable folders" diagram, where they actually open up and show what documents lie underneath, but it isn't always obvious what things you can click on. In your diagram, the way the stems of the top level flowers connect to certain segments of the wheel makes it look like they only relate to that segment. E.g. It looks like legislation and local & parish councillors are only relevant to sustainability appraisals. It is also not easy to see that the different segments feed into each other (though you may not be able to show all that on one diagram).

Hello Illina Thank you for your feedback. I see what you mean about the stems looking as if they only relate to one section of the LDF. I have removed the individual stems and added a central arrow. An alternative approach could be to leave the stems and change the seperations between the document types to grey/dotted lines...
