Draft Local Plan - Supplementary Consultation

Representation ID: 9077

Received: 15/03/2019

Respondent: Mr John Gibbs

Representation Summary:

Green belt areas were designated in order to prevent development on protected areas of open countryside, which are vital for the quality of our living environment. If development of green belt areas ride roughshod over this protection, then any compensation should be to grant even greater protection for remaining green spaces. An example of this could be to designate the previous proposed Site 13 as a nature reserve.
