Draft Local Plan - Supplementary Consultation

Representation ID: 8300

Received: 14/03/2019

Respondent: Mr Andrew Burrow

Representation Summary:

A brownfield site. It is good to see that SMBC have finally included brownfield sites after providing a non lawful rationale for their exclusion in the first place. A rationale that was repeated on 5th March 2019 and was put in writing before then. I cannot see why SMBC continue to use the mantra that paragraph 145 of the NPPF 2018 in some way restricts the redevelopment of brownfield land more than greenfield land when creating a local plan.
