Draft Local Plan - Supplementary Consultation

Representation ID: 8486

Received: 15/03/2019

Respondent: Simon Taylor

Representation Summary:

- Fundamentally object to proposed sites 4, 12 and 26, due to the inequitable scale of development in this area versus other areas.
- Furthermore, site 4 should not be included as it is a recognised Green Belt Area with a high rating to prevent urban sprawl. Development of this site simply exacerbates urban sprawl and removes any determinable barrier between Dickens Heath and Majors Green, which is in direct contradiction to the Local Plan objectives and does not retain the intrinsic character of both settlements.

As per my comments on questions 14 and 15, I fundamentally object to sites 4, 12 and 26 being included as allocated sites, due to the inequitable scale of development in this area versus other areas. Furthermore, site 4 should not be included as it is a recognised Green Belt Area with a high rating to prevent urban sprawl. Development of this site simply exacerbates urban sprawl and removes any determinable barrier between Dickens Heath and Majors Green, which is in direct contradiction to the Local Plan objectives and does not retain the intrinsic character of both settlements.
