Core Strategy Submission Document

Representation ID: 16173

Received: 02/11/2009

Respondent: Pond Chase Nurseries Ltd

Agent: Boyer Planning Ltd

Representation Summary:

The way in which sites may be allocated within the Allocations development plan document should be guided by an additional level within the sequential approach. The Core Strategy objectives in relation to Green Belt seek to continue to protect the openness and character of the Green Belt and to balance that with the minimum amount of release of such land to meet the District's housing and employment needs.

The sequential approach of Policy H1 should indicate that land to be allocated for development, as extensions to residential envelopes should prioritise previously developed land and other built sites that are now redundant.
