Preferred Site Allocations 2018

Representation ID: 18961

Received: 11/02/2018

Respondent: Mr Geoff Bland

Representation Summary:

Concerned about the amount of current greenfield sites in the plan when there appears to be more than enough brownfield sites. Most concerning are the sites that are highly visible greenfield - such as the sites just off the A12 junctions (especially 158 but also 276, 263 & 106).

I have read through the proposals for the Local Development Plan and viewed the Draft Preferred Site Allocations document.

I realise that more housing is needed and the Dunton Hills Garden village seems to be a good site. Well located for transport links and of a good size.

I am however concerned about the amount of current greenfield sites in the plan when there appears to be more than enough brownfield sites. Most concerning are the sites that are highly visible greenfield - such as the sites just off the A12 junctions (especially 158 but also 276, 263 & 106).
