Respondent: Mr Jonathan Rawlings

Representation Summary:

This is a joint representation from Jonathan Rawlings and Maureen Rawlings.

The allocated area is green belt land. The National Planning Policy Framework states that green belt boundaries should only be altered in exceptional circumstances. We feel that the Local Plan fails to make the case that the circumstances in Cubbington are exceptional.

---The proposed H50 development will have a detrimental impact upon the landscape to the east of Cubbington; the Local Plan acknowledges that there are landscape issues.

---The Local Plan makes insufficient provision for improving Cubbington's infrastructure to support the increased population, eg: medical facilities; schooling and drains/sewers.
