Representation Summary:

Object building on Green Belt, as it will set a precedent for further development on land all the way down Mascalls lane. This piece of land has been systematically stripped of many trees in a deliberate attempt to make it look like waste land and therefore of no greenbelt value. The owner has tried and failed several times to build on this land and has been refused in the last because of obvious access issues. The land slopes up steeply from the gardens in the dell, meaning any houses built will be much taller than the properties in the dell.

With regards to the land behind the dell and adjacent to Carmel, mascalls lane. We strongly oppose building on this green built land, as it will set a precedent for further development on land all the way down Mascalls lane. This piece of land has been systematically stripped of many trees in a deliberate attempt to make it look like waste land and therefore of no greenbelt value.

Hilbery Chaplin are wealthy local land owners who have tried and failed several times to build on this land and has been refused in the last because of obvious access issues.

Furthermore, the land slopes up steeply from the gardens in the dell, meaning any houses built will be much taller than the properties in the dell.

We strongly object to any proposed development to this land.
