Improved access and protection for high usage areas of Green Belt.
An example being Country Park status for what was formerly Site 13. It will be necessary to run a separate consultation on specifically this aspect. There would most likely need to be a bid process, with prioritisation and costings for each program considered viable by the council.
Shirley and Blythe have been hit particularly hard by the Local Plan. They are also not receiving many of the infrastructural benefits associated with HS2, that more accessible locations will enjoy. As such it is essential that significant compensation is directed in this area of the Borough.
