Respondent: Mrs Pauline Young
The rules are so disproportionate - existing dwellings in the greenbelt can't extend more than 25% but we have a number of new builds in the greenbelt that have very large footprints to start with and their neighbours in a more modest older dwelling are unable to increase the footprint even given they have a very large area of surrounding land. There is no consistency in any areas of our districts greenbelt dwellings; what passes today will be rejected tomorrow for a neighbouring household.
