Draft Local Plan - Supplementary Consultation

Representation ID: 9088

Received: 15/03/2019

Respondent: Mr John Gibbs

Representation Summary:

Against any proposal that incentivises making housing smaller and smaller, and cramming more and more houses on a plot. It's not even a good model for chickens, let alone humans. However, taking more green belt land for housing reduces the area of countryside, which is vital for everyone's quality of life. The best way is to reduce the population, and therefore demand for houses.

It is catch 22. On the one hand I am against any proposal that incentivises making housing smaller and smaller, and cramming more and more houses on a plot. It's not even a good model for housing chickens, let alone humans. On the other hand, taking more green belt land for housing reduces the area of countryside, which I believe is vital for everyone's quality of life. The best way is to reduce the population, and therefore demand for houses. Good luck with that one!
