These sites, if advanced for development are a clear attack on the Green Belt and in particular go against the decisions of previous planning approvals
i.e. CFS118 the proposed use of the Paddock by Clements Hall Way, Rectory Road SS5 4LR
This area is currently designated as both Greenfield & Green Belt land, it was previously heavily defended as such, whilst the "Clements Gate" development was being constructed and as part of that planning permission approval, it was only on appeal at the third time of asking that it went forward and at that time a section 106 legal agreement was enforced to protect the site -
'3.2.3 The Owner shall only use the Paddocks for agriculture, horticulture, forestry, grazing or as open land so as to ensure that they remain un-built upon except for any buildings ancillary to such permitted use and provide open space which mitigates the visual impact of the Development on the area in which the Site is situated.'
The "Paddocks" were originally established along Rectory Road to avoid overdevelopment and retain level of "Green separation from Rectory road, All development was to be prohibited bar the addition of one house and the retention of 352 Rectory Road because it houses a bat roost. this is just one example of an area that clearly needs to be retained to maintain the status que regarding overdevelopment being added to a list that takes neither the environment, local infrastructure or local residents concerns into account.
