No

Draft Local Plan Review

Representation ID: 1005

Received: 11/02/2017

Respondent: Dr Richard Anderson

Representation Summary:

I object for three reasons:
*Criteria have been specified, but there appears to be no weighting attached to the different criteria. This will almost certainly lead to flawed decision-making. This should BE CORRECTED.
*A specific example is the preservation of the green belt. In the last few weeks, the Government has announced that it intends placing FAR MORE emphasis on green belt retention. This should retrospectively be built into weighted criteria.
*Therefore, preservation of green belt should TAKE ABSOLUTE PRIORITY over all other criteria, and the huge proposed developments in Balsall Common should be REJECTED.
