Representation ID: 61381

Respondent: Kingswood Homes
Agent: Tyler-Parkes Partnership
-The approach taken to the realignment of the Settlement Boundary is not wholly consistent with the National Planning Policy Framework (Framework).
-Paragraph 85 of the Framework requires local planning authorities when defining Green Belt boundaries to, amongst other considerations, '...not include land which it is unnecessary to keep permanently open' and '...define boundaries clearly, using physical features that are readily recognisable and likely to be permanent.
-Suggestions are made for the inclusion of Foreman's Cottage and the Canal Office and Engineering Works in the Settlement Boundary. A map has been provided indicating the suggested boundary changes.
Please find attached a letter of formal representation in response to the consultation on the Village Housing options and Settlement Boundaries consultation, submitted on behalf of our client Mr Shaun Hussey. Also attached and forming part of the submission are a plan and aerial photograph showing the proposed re-alignment to the indicative Kingswood (Lapworth) Village boundary.
