Draft Local Plan - Supplementary Consultation

Representation ID: 8116

Received: 14/03/2019

Respondent: Tidbury Green Parish Council

Representation Summary:

SMBC should press Government on use of latest projections to reduce unnecessary loss of highly performing green belt. Local need plus HMA contribution is above highest level achieved in Borough and double average, and above cap that would apply if solely local need. Inconceivable that this rate can be delivered, or that industry could build even if permissions granted. Using 2016 projection would produce more realistic figure and can be justified as exceptional circumstances.
