Draft Local Plan - Supplementary Consultation

Representation ID: 8218

Received: 14/03/2019

Respondent: mr Graham Cockroft

Representation Summary:

Cheswick Green parish has very strong green belt boundaries. It is all washed over with the exception of Blythe Valley and the anomaly of Mount Dairy Farm.
Removal of green belt wash over status, together with site 12 development, would leave a very patchy bit of green belt with vague boundaries that could not fulfil the main green belt purposes.
In practice this would make it much easier for Cheswick Green to be engulfed by the conurbation in future, contrary to current green belt policy and that expressed in the draft plan.
Infill sites must be considered on merit.
