The location of the proposed new Green Belt boundary is unclear. The present boundary has been long established and marks a sharp distinction between open farmland and urban usage. Such boundaries should not be altered unless they can be replaced by an equally strong permanent boundary. BL2. 4. refers to Green Belt enhancements and a country park, with no information on their scope, extent or boundaries. This affects the viability of remaining farmland, and could heave a serious impact on Cheswick Green. The much narrower Green Belt risks failing to properly fulfil GB purposes.
Delete BL2.
