Draft Local Plan - Supplementary Consultation

Representation ID: 7913

Received: 13/03/2019

Respondent: Stratford on Avon District Council

Representation Summary:

It would have been helpful if maps showing the location and extent of the five settlements to be removed from the Green Belt had been provided. SoA DC is not able to properly assess the impact to the wider Green Belt of their removal and therefore reserves the right to comment further if necessary. The Council notes the requirement (NPPF) to establish defensible long-term boundaries to the Green Belt. This consultation is not considering the issue of housing numbers or the Birmingham shortfall, SoA DC respectfully queries to what extent proper decisions can be taken as to what settlements to inset from the Green Belt when the strategic context is still unknown?
