Draft Local Plan - Supplementary Consultation

Representation ID: 7101

Received: 07/03/2019

Respondent: Mr T Thomas

Representation Summary:

Current proposed green belt changes take too much green belt land and do NOT provide a defensible boundary against further erosion. Will open up development opportunities not only for the two current sites planned but other properties as far as 116 School Road. If site 25 is to be adopted then the green belt boundary should exclude the nature area planned to prevent future development and run back on School Road to join the current boundary by Tutnall Drive.

A stated in Q20, the green belt changes, especially to the north of School Road will open up development opportunities not only for the two current sites planned but other properties as far as 116 School Road. I understand at least one other owner not identified yet is concidering development if the green belt is removed. This is encouraging back garden development and does not provide a defencible boundary which is an objective stated in the LDP on several occasions.
IF - site 25 is to be adopted then the green belt boundary should exclude the nature area planned to prevent future development and run back on School Road to join the current boundary by Tutnall Drive.
