Representation ID: 61723
Received: 22/01/2014
Respondent: Dr E R Austin
Representation Summary:

-There must be 'exceptional circumstances' before building on Green Belt land is allowed. The plan does not say what these circumstance could be.
-When the NPPF was published the government promised it would not be a 'free for all' for 'developers'. Mr Pickles was quoted saying 'The Green Belt is safe in our hands'. I wish this were true. One example of a planning application being approved on Green Belt is, Gateway.
