Draft Local Plan - Supplementary Consultation

Representation ID: 8205

Received: 14/03/2019

Respondent: mr Graham Cockroft

Representation Summary:

- Site would breach an effective green belt boundary between the conurbation and open farmland and be an incursion into the rural area, undermining the viability of remaining green belt.
- The gap to Cheswick Green would be greatly reduced. It would destroy the rural character of Cheswick Green and promote conurbation expansion.
- Serious flood risk to homes in Cheswick Green, which the proposals do not recognise.
- Adjacent main roads, including M42, are very congested and have no spare capacity.
- Inappropriate location for sustainable travel, particularly to work.
Public transport accessibility is poor.
