Development and Site Allocations (DaSA) Local Plan - Options and Preferred Options
Representation ID: 22819
Received: 20/02/2017
Respondent: Mrs Gillian Johnston
BEX116 is the least appropriate of all the sites. Brownfield options and infill developments (where previous commercial and residential properties are converted to multi-occupancy) should take priority.
Any decision to develop BX116 (land adjoining Spindlewood Drive/Maple Walk) should be postponed for a minimum of 5 years whilst alternatives are investigated further.
There is no need to take tracts of land out of the green belt to solve the housing crisis. The Council should have looked at every alternative first.
Our green belt is sacrosanct. To destroy it would be a very poor solution betraying our heritage.
