Residents Association held a public meeting that provided a mandate for comments. Provide statistics relating to populations and responses and tables of results.
On-line response facility extremely poor. Not user friendly. Disappointed that photos showed holiday caravan sites, misleading and not representative.
Understand need to meet accommodation needs of G & T community and Government policy, including duty to cooperate. Concern that no evidence of when and how WDC will demonstrate cooperation.
Recognise priority for protection of Green Belt and procedures for release of land from GB. Consider that there may be other suitable and deliverable sites in GB. Should not consider GB sites less appropriate than less sustainable sites automatically; do not agree to approach to ranking. If concentrate on non-GB could have spatial implications and failure to disperse sites where they are needed. A range of sites distributed around the District with a smaller number of pitches would be a sound way forward. More evidence and explanation is needed of how sites to be dispersed with reassurance that GB not the basis.
Criteria appear consistent with Government policy.
