Respondent: Mr Jonathan Lock

Representation Summary:

Don't build on Greenbelt or areas on the outskirts of the villages in the North of the Borough or A12 corridor.

Full text:

I don't believe that there should be any development permitted on the greenbelt land surrounding the villages to the North of the Borough as this will negatively impact the feel of the area. Use of all Brownfield sites within the villages should looked at first in order to increase housing in the area but that development should minimised and be sympathetic to the surrounding environment.

Greenbelt land in the A12 corridor should also be left as greenbelt rather than used for housing. If the sprawl from London is to be contained then this area should be left with as many green spaces as possible.

Land around the A127 is possibly more suited to development that the A12 corridor and North of the Borough.
