Legally compliant? No
Sound? No
Duty to co-operate? No
Object to Site BL2 on number of grounds (see reps):
Green Belt:
- GB boundary not comply with NPPF (Para. 139 f)
- Disagree that land in moderately performing area of Green Belt – 2016 GBA states in Appendix G that area in higher performing Green Belt land, especially in preventing settlements merging into one another.
- No justification in text for demotion
- Dog Kennel Lane is an established & permanent boundary feature providing distinct separation between built-up area and Green Belt.
- Updated evidence too vague.
- BL2 lacks permanent features required to define a Green Belt boundary, contrary to Para. 600 in Plan.
- Introduction of estate road as boundary feature (Para. 609) risks further development south of the road, and GB encroachment Proposed.
- Rest of landholdings could become target for further development.
- Gap to east of BL2 and Creynolds Lane at risk of infill in future.
