We particularly support the long term aim "The Green Belt remains predominantly undeveloped and open in character".

DM10 generally supported

DM11, DM12 & DM13 are generally supported but CPC is concerned that several existing businesses in the Green Belt in Canewdon Parish already have an unacceptable adverse effect on highway safety, the amenity of nearby residential occupiers and important wildlife habitats. Rural diversification should not put even more pressure on the road network and such uses should not be allowed where weight restricted roads need to be used. Canewdon does not have good links to the highway network because of the narrow country lanes and weight restrictions.

With regard to DM15, the use of the roads in Canewdon for horse riding is both dangerous and increasing in frequency and all proposed sites for further stables in Canewdon should have easy access to bridleways and/or sufficient land to meet all the exercise needs of the horses.

DM17, DM18, DM19, DM20, DM21 & DM22 are supported so long as they are robustly imposed.
