Strategic Growth Options
Representation ID: 5043
Received: 17/02/2015
Respondent: Mr and Mrs Barry and Hazel Johnson
Representation Summary:
The strategic document does not consider environmental matters adequately with regard to greenfield and Green Belt land. No consideration has yet been given to environmental impact or loss of biodiversity. A full impact assessment should be carried out on each site before any development is undertaken. (We note no definitions are given for Green Belt or biodiversity in the glossary)
No consideration seems to have been given to the loss of a substantial amount of farming land should the proposals outlined in the plan go ahead. This is not mentioned at all in the consultation.
The issue of parking is also not addressed.
