-Object to the rejection of OX/001 and the allocation of the site as Local Green Space.
-Site history of being allocated for housing development following an appeal to the Local Development plan (UALP).
-The planning inspector stated that its development should be guided by a Design Brief to be produced by CBMDC, pre PPG3.
-This land was re-allocated as Village Green Space.
-SHLAA assessment described as :- “Village green-space notation does not represent the site as it has no public access and does not contribute in any way to the setting of the area. Slightly sloping grubby field between houses”.
-When the site is judged by the development team on its own merit, the site should not be Local Green Space. It is only following consultation with the Parish Council that this designation is allocated.
-Site does not meet the criteria for Local Green Space as set out in the Oxenhope Neighbourhood Plan. Local Green Space designation should only be used where the site is demonstrably special and holds local significance because of its beauty, historic significance, recreational value and richness of its wildlife. There are no special features to the field.
