Local Plan Review: Preferred Approach 2016-2035
Representation ID: 3170
Received: 05/02/2019
Respondent: Mr Alan Carn
Representation Summary:
The wording of the environment policy is hopelessly weak. Vague terms such as " is not unduly compromised", "significant harm", "may be occasions..." are all open to interpretation, and could easily be navigated through by a determined developer.
"Unduly" and "significant", need to be taken out, and 'may be on occasions' needs to be specific. The proposals need to be much more robust. It should be stated that valuable and productive agricultural land will not be sacrificed for development.
All proposals in the local plan need to demonstrate that they will have a net zero impact on climate change.
