Green Belt exceptional circumstances have not been demonstrated, no appreciation of cultural, historical, recreational or environmental aspects.
No consideration of the effects of the pandemic and Brexit. The 2021 census should inform future planning policy
No information provided on road impact. New road building is inconsistent with the Council’s declaration of a climate emergency in 2019. Concern that road will release further development sites, increase air pollution and traffic.
Area provides access to green space for walking, running, cycling and horse-riding etc. Its development will impact health
Area is biodiverse and home to hundreds of threatened species. No assessment of the impact of development on the environment, especially on ancient woodland at Black Carr and Kit Woods. Building in it would be an ecological disaster.
Development will lead to flooding further down the valley. Flood risk assessment is vital.
It is completely incredulous that plans are being made to plant trees and develop ‘city parks’ in some areas of the locality whilst exiting woodland and grazing land is being threatened in this manner – does no one in the planning department have the ability to look at the district in an holistic way?
