I am a resident in Blackmore and would like to thank you for your presentation on Thursday 19th September, at the LDP consultation meeting. The information was useful and interesting giving some idea of the future plans for our borough, as there were no specific plans for the Parish included within the draft i feel it is difficult to communicate an accurate comment, however i hope this helps to relay opinion. When you refer to public opinion for consideration and review of the plan, please take very seriously the need to protect the Green Belt land from development which we have within the Parish of Hook End, Blackmore and Wyatts Green. Discussions have previously taken place and 100% affordable home building on Green Belt land was thought to be unsuitable for the rural environment and community.
