Draft Local Plan - Supplementary Consultation

Representation ID: 7687

Received: 12/03/2019

Respondent: John Boucher

Representation Summary:

I am concerned at the proposal to remove the status of all the land to the east of Berkswell Windmill within the line of proposed new Balsall Bypass road. It is stated that it is not intended to release this land for housing. If that is so, why is it necessary to remove it from the Green Belt? It would be far better to retain both areas east and west of Windmill Lane within the Green Belt and take action to enhance their green belt status, rather than dismiss them offhand as low quality green belt.
