Comment
Draft Local Plan - Supplementary Consultation
Representation ID: 9591
Received: 15/03/2019
Respondent: Berkswell Parish Council
Support building on brownfield sites and part of site included on BLR. Object to inclusion of significant area of greenfield/green belt, as evidence supports alternatives that will not impact on openness, such as Sites 1/43 bounded by roads.
Site beyond acceptable distance to centre/surgery/station and outside desirable distance to schools, will be highly car dependent and unsustainable.
Recommend exclusion of greenfield element other than for public open space which could remain in green belt. Suggest adopt approach as per Site 22 in SLP2013.
Paragraph 113 is untrue as by-pass will not be within 200m of proposed boundary of Site so inclusion of greenfield land not justified. Greater part of Site in higher performing green belt parcel in GBA.

Berkswell Parish Council considers that the issues are important and worthy of deep consideration with an honest attempt by SMBC to conduct a suitable and sufficient review of the draft plan proposals.
