Draft Local Plan - Supplementary Consultation

Representation ID: 8502

Received: 15/03/2019

Respondent: Simon Taylor

Representation Summary:

- No, I do not believe it is right that in all cases these sites should be omitted.
- Sites 59, 104, 109, 188, 205 and 413 should all be included, as they appear to represent justifiable development opportunities.
- As outlined above, to simply choose sites based on current assessment criteria is significantly flawed as in direct contradiction to the Local Plan, not considering demarcation of existing settlements and with no cap to the percentage increase at each respective area).
- Furthermore, the extension of green belt required is no different to that being proposed in other settlement areas.
