Local Plan 2040 Draft Plan - Strategy options and draft policies consultation
Representation ID: 3957

Respondent: Mr Mark Potts
I believe that the Issues and Options consultation was invalid. It represented
growth in our parish as “urban growth” showing our whole parish as brown – urban land on
brownfield or under utilized land. This is profoundly untrue. This parish is entirely rural and classed
as open countryside and is all utilized as high quality agricultural land (grade 2).
I would also call into question the effectiveness of the issues and options consultation as only
0.12% of the population responded.
A rail based growth strategy policy may be required if growth is to be located around rail
