Why you consider the Draft Local Plan is not legally compliant or is unsound or fails to comply with the duty to co-operate

Plan does not represent needs of area.

Summary of comments

Plan contradicts Government policy to only use Green Belt when brownfield sites are unavailable. Majority of proposed housing will not be affordable - prospective buyers likely to commute elsewhere for work. No focus on regeneration of town centre. Limited consideration given to infrastructure improvements. Loss of Green Belt will impact negatively on existing residents, currently used by many for leisure.
