Representation Summary:

Green Infrastructure GI
5.13.30 Why is there no purpose marked for land unmarked on the plan: surely they have a purpose and should be marked as such.

Purpose of Green Belt SP5 is to protect land from development so why is this contradicted by housing S13/H, which is private, high quality farm land.

The Open Space Assessment (2020) states there are notable deficits of certain types of open space yet this plan fails to address how they will be resolved of the time frame.
Much open space shown is private or operated privately, (allotments and sports grounds). The implication is that the public benefits from all this open green space when in fact that only have access to a small percentage of public land.
Item 5.13.36 "... South Craven is oversubscribed.” This is not a true statement, there are plenty of spaces and there is potential to add more.
