Draft Local Plan - Supplementary Consultation

Representation ID: 9113

Received: 15/03/2019

Respondent: Hockley Heath Parish Council

Representation Summary:

Don't consider there is a defensible boundary to the north of these gardens. By removing this 'washed over' Green Belt status we consider that the level of attempted development throughout this ribbon of houses and into the land behind would be inappropriate and could jeopardise the quality of the green belt surrounding Hockley Heath with no clear boundary. We don't consider that any release of the land to the South automatically suggests a revision to the boundary to the North.

We do not consider that it is appropriate to remove the washed over Green Belt from the north of School Road. Paragraph 200 talks about the fact that due to existing development with minimal gaps it would appear logical to remove it from the Green Belt, however, we don't consider that there is a defensible boundary to the north of these gardens. By removing this 'washed over' Green Belt status we consider that the level of attempted development throughout this ribbon of houses and into the land behind would be inappropriate and could jeopardise the quality of the green belt surrounding Hockley Heath with no clear boundary.
