New Local Plan: Spatial Options Document 2021

Representation ID: 38260

Received: 29/08/2021

Respondent: Mrs Keeley Pullen

Representation Summary:

I object to any expansions but the most viable option is 1 due the potential detrimental impact to the environment caused by the others. Reducing green spaces will not help health and well-being. People need natural environments to support positive mental health. There are too many ‘no’ and ‘uncertain’ impacts on natural resources and environmental quality. Whatever green spaces are lost can’t be replaced once they have been built upon.
