Draft Local Plan Review

Representation ID: 1465

Received: 15/02/2017

Respondent: Yasmine Griffin

Representation Summary:

Housing is needed throughout the borough. However, this needs to be evenly placed and Greenbelt land should be avoided when there is considerable brownfield land throughout the borough. The number of proposed sites on Greenbelt land is outrageous and clearly does not take into account local residents opinions, rural or wildlife issues. I strongly object to the 800 proposed houses on Barrett's Farm and further 350 houses throughout the village. As these will not provide for the local community but for commuters. Nor does the village have the infrastructure or transport links to accommodate such a huge number of houses.
