Draft Local Plan - Supplementary Consultation

Representation ID: 8016

Received: 13/03/2019

Respondent: Mr Steven Rushton

Representation Summary:

This version of the plan seems to prioritise development of large scale new / green belt sites rather than more sensitive localised developments in and around existing developed areas. Whilst I'm sure this is the preference for property development companies (they can maximise profit per square metre) I really don't feel this is in the long term interests of the region from an economic, aesthetic nor practical perspective.
