Representation ID: 6388
Received: 17/02/2017
Respondent: Paula Pountney
Representation Summary:
Agree with case for meeting a proportion of housing needs across the Borough.
Not right for 41% of new housing to be located south of Shirley.
Development in Green Belt is contrary to Policy P17.
SoS for DCLG has said that Green Belt is absolutely sacrosanct.
Housing and Planning Minister has said most development in the Green Belt is inappropriate.
Large swathes of Green Belt land lost in past 6 years.
Disagree with Professor Cheshire at LSE that vast areas of Green Belt have no environment value, no amenity value and good transport links.
