Representation ID: 63216
Received: 17/01/2014
Respondent: Sharba Homes
Agent: PJPlanning
Representation Summary:
-Much is made of the needs of Green Belt villages to grow and be sustainable. Green Belt policy has always been intended to be permanently restrictive. A simple change of mind by WDC does not meet 'Exceptional' or 'Very Special' circumstances to override this permanence.
-Green Belt review in order to accommodate the level of housing anticipated is not sufficient to provide the 'Very Special Circumstance' in respect of planning appeals and it would be insufficient to provide 'Exceptional Circumstances' required to amend the Green Belt through the Development Plan.
