The plan to build a certain number of new houses (175) on green belt land in South Hawkwell is not feasible. You cannot expect to squeeze new houses into an area already saturated, with existing infastructure strained to its limits. These new housing numbers are target driven rather than a common sense planning approach. The recent planning application refusal by the Secretary of State which recognised what a disaster it would be to build a large number of houses concentrated in an area that is not accessable. This provides council with guidelines to reject any further similar applications.
