Representation Summary:
the policy which confirms the Borough Council's desire to become a greener and more pleasant area is totally contradicted by the release of more greenfield and rural sites for industrial and railway purposes.
Vast tracts of valuable agricultural land will be swallowed up as well as huge sections of the Borough's rural landscape and ancient woodlands.
These will be decimated by the E.W. proposal.
The Borough Council cannot claim to be green in the Plan but then allow such huge areas to be built upon. The policy contradicts the plan.
