I strongly object to the description of the brown option 'as our parish being comprised of brownfield site or under utilised land'.
In the Local Plan 2030 definition 6.21 the hamlets of Staploe, Duloe and Begwary are not even classed as a small settlement and as such are defined as open countryside.
In describing the site as brownfield or under utilised land: I do not agree that this consultation was sound or fair and the validity of the consultation could be compromised as respondents would naturally propose development on on brownfield or under utilised sited before development of green field and open countryside. The description as such is very misleading and false.
The parish is classed as open countryside for planning purposes.
We would see the majority of our parish covered in a large scale, high density, urban development
