Respondent: Dr E R Austin
Representation Summary:
When the NPPF was published, the Government promised that It would not be a ''free-for-all'' for developers and Mr Pickles was quoted as saying ''The Green Belt is safe in our hands''. I wish that were true. There are reports almost daily in the press that The Governments assurance is worthless and that planning rules are to be relaxed even more. What is WDC's position here? There is one glaring example of planning application being approved on Green Belt Land- GATEWAY. I know that is concerned with industrial development, not housing, but Green Belt principle applies equally to both.
