Strategic Growth Options

Respondent: Mr and Mrs Barry and Hazel Johnson
Representation Summary:
We note that Brownfield can support 2500 homes. We are not convinced that the Borough needs to support an extra 360 homes pa. But if this is the case, it is essential that brownfield sites should be used for the next 7 years without recourse to greenfield or greenbelt sites. This would have two benefits: it would put unsightly brownfield sites to good use, hence having a positive environmental impact. Such a policy would retain greenfield and greenbelt sites. During this period the Council could gain a better understanding of the need for further expansion in the Borough.
