The Council have not given due consideration to revisiting Green Belt boundaries where land no longer fulfils a Green Belt function.
‘Lavender Hall Fisheries, Berkswell’ will be separated by HS2 from the wider Green Belt and the adjacent land is proposed as a residential allocation (site BC6).
The Council should give much greater consideration to Green Belt boundaries and whether these should be redrawn, not solely in relation to the provision of positive allocations of land but instead to reflect the change in circumstances which justifies a review as to the extent land fulfils a Green Belt function.
Lavender Hall Fisheries, Berkswell is one such example whereby the lack of any change to Green Belt boundaries undermines the permanence of Green Belt and the robustness of policy seeking to maintain openness.
Dear Sir / Madam,
Please see attached Representations in relation to Regulation 19.

Clare Garrad
