I am objecting to the proposed development CO1/H. NPPF 145 states that 'A local planning authority should regard the construction of new buildings as inappropriate in the Green Belt'. Can the Council really justify that there are exceptional circumstances for building on this area? The adverse effect on air pollution and the already congested main roads of 200+ additional cars would be considerable, and would also impact on highway safety. Please preserve the Green Belt so that it can do what it is intended to do: check unrestricted sprawl and prevent neighbouring towns from merging. If this development is allowed to go ahead, it sets a dangerous precedent for future raids on the Green Belt. It diminishes the natural environment and impacts negatively on the physical and mental health of us all.
