The deletion of this paragraph will remove the cap of the total number of dwellings not exceeding 550 by more than 5%. This change should not be permitted as it effectively writes the possibility of further new homes/planning on the area into the document via the backdoor, which would further increase the pressure on existing local infrastructure and facilities, and potentially further loss of agricultural/greenbelt land. This attempts at the last minute to keep the door open to more than 577 new homes (i.e. 550+5% cap), despite the original document - around which all communication was based - clearly committing to a 5% cap. MM23 would therefore render all initial communication as misleading and allows for the potential for more homes to be built than originally deemed appropriate for the area.

This change will set the precedent and add pressure to increase over time the area of the proposed land for development, especially since the need to allow more room for a road is the alleged justification behind the proposal in MM20, MM22, MM26 and MM29. If suddenly you need to build more than 550+5% cap homes then clearly more land will be required to allow for additional roads/infrastructure.

It is interesting that just the words "Delete paragraph" are used in the pdf rather than actually stating what the one-sentence paragraph was.
