Draft Local Plan - Supplementary Consultation

Representation ID: 8543

Received: 15/03/2019

Respondent: Joelle Hill

Representation Summary:

My understanding is that there are a number of flaws with the methodology of this review.
Sustainability. The government provides a sustainability calculator which if applied consistently does not produce a sustainable result in some cases for the sites identified in the plan. The sustainability measure has not been used for all the sites proposed in the plan.

There is an over emphasis on large release of green belt land rather than smaller infill developments that would have less impact on the borough. This is against government policy.
