Draft Local Plan - Supplementary Consultation

Representation ID: 9289

Received: 20/03/2019

Respondent: L&Q Estates and Barratt David Wilson Homes

Agent: Avison Young

Representation Summary:

We consider there has been an inappropriate designation of the site as brownfield land. It is therefore considered that any agricultural buildings within this site should therefore not be classed as brownfield.
We note in relation to the Green Belt impacts that the site currently:
Performs a more important role than Grange Farm overall (in GB terms)
It would result in unrestricted sprawl- lack of a strong and defensible boundary
It is unclear why the site is preferred to Grange Farm which is less important in Green Belt terms and often
more compact (less sprawling) form of development.
