Draft Local Plan - Supplementary Consultation

Representation ID: 7952

Received: 13/03/2019

Respondent: Mrs Elisabeth Hedley

Representation Summary:

A mix of sites and a more dispersed pattern of development would be far less damaging to the Green Belt, have far less impact upon the infrastructure and be much more acceptable to residents. Sites 72, 107, 135, 207, 210, 244, and 344 seem to perform reasonably well but have been categorised as red, although it is not clear why.

Full text:

The Council should look more closely at other sites listed in the Schedule of Assessed Sites set out in Appendix E of the consultation, in particular parcels such as 72, 107, 135, 207, 210, 244, and 344. Some of these seem to perform reasonably well but have been categorised as red, although it is not clear why. Also, if the Council is prepared to create new Green Belt boundaries as at Hampton Road, then, presumably, some of the concerns over these other sites might be overcome, rendering them preferable to the currently allocated ones. These other sites could contribute to a more dispersed pattern of development which would be more consistent with government guidance and have less impact upon, and be less damaging to the village character. and infrastructure of the KDBH area.
