Local Plan 2040 Draft Plan - Strategy options and draft policies consultation

Representation ID: 4631

Received: 01/09/2021

Respondent: Mr Melvyn Chase

Representation Summary:

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 utilised land. This is profoundly untrue. Our parish is entirely rural and classed as open countryside and is all utilised 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.
