(2) Last Paragraph -10 years is far too short a life for a new barn before it may eligible for conversion to a residential dwelling and will encourage speculative barn building in Green Belt by farmers and others. The ban on development for residential purposes should be at least 50 years - when the building will be in need of refurbishment anyway.

(3) Former Landings Surgery, Outings Lane. In the light of the location and nature and style of existing surrounding dwellings, a housing a density of 40 dph is far too high at this specific location and will create hazards for road users with its proximity to Deal Tree Corner. Indeed the housing densities employed throughout this table appear arbitrary and seem to be designed more to add up to 3500 than be a realistic assessment of practical housing densities, giving a very optimistic view of the development potential of the sites listed.
