Preferred Options

Representation ID: 46478

Received: 15/07/2012

Respondent: Mr Philip James

Representation Summary:

The council are ignoring the views of the public. In their own survey the majority are against further development of green belt land yet the council puts forward a preferred option that is based on economic speculation, theories and hypothesis that utilises a considerable amount of green belt.

It is the thin end of the wedge that on one hand the council states 'green belt' is there to protect the open nature and rural character of the open countryside around towns and villages when their preferred option is to do the exact opposite.
