Draft Local Plan - Supplementary Consultation

Representation ID: 10033

Received: 15/03/2019

Respondent: Mr T Khan

Agent: DS Planning

Representation Summary:

The site assessment document states:
a) "....... part high (highest) performing parcel in the Green Belt Assessment and would result in an indefensible Green Belt boundary to the east.
b) "Site has a low level of accessibility....." and
c) "Could be considered subject to provision of clear firm green belt boundaries".
d) "Development should preferably be on land that is more highly accessible, and/or performs least well in Green Belt terms and/or provides strong defensible boundaries".
Allocation is reliant on the building of a bypass and the assembly of land outside the site allocation. Hardly glowing commentary for an allocation.

59, & 61 Jacobean Lane Knowle for inclusion as a housing allocation within the Plan
and land north of Jacobean Lane being removed from the Green Belt and to support
the removal of land from the Green Belt to rectify anomalies and for consistency.
