Draft Local Plan - Supplementary Consultation

Representation ID: 8548

Received: 15/03/2019

Respondent: Mrs Sarah Letters

Representation Summary:

I do not believe that site 9 should be included as an allocated site, as it would be an enormous increase in the number of houses and I particularly object to building on green belt land when there are brownfield sites available elsewhere in the borough. Greenbelt land should only be used as the last resort, as it can never be replaced.
The pressure on infrastructure caused by a development of the proposed size would be very damaging and it is not easy to see how Station Road, for example, could cope with the additional traffic.
