Duty to co-operate? Not specified
- Accept Council’s strategy of urban expansion
- Site raises concerns over compliance with government policy, ‘essential characteristics of Green Belts are their openness and their permanence’: land to south of Dog Kennel Lane clearly exhibits openness. Development would extend built development into open countryside.
- Site raises concerns over Council’s own site selection methodology
- Concern is raised on Green Belt grounds: Para.’s 600 and 609 conflict, as site boundary not following a pre-existing feature, but to be formed by new road. Not conform with Government policy.
- Cannot be demonstrated that coalescence with Cheswick Green will be avoided.
- Concern is raised on Landscape Character Assessment grounds: substantial and detrimental impact on landscape character. Site located within area of high landscape sensitivity.
