Plan proposes too much Green Belt development in proportion to brownfield regeneration. Green Belt should be protected for future generations and to enhance health and wellbeing of residents.

Supports addition of Fiddlers Ferry site, however, more housing should be proposed for such a large site to reduce strain on Green Belt and villages across the Borough.

Site is high quality agricultural land and previously granted Special Landscape Character Status - development would change character/landscape of this site and should be avoided.

Lack of infrastructure to support scale of development - significant increase to already high volume of traffic in area.

Development previously rejected by Government. Site is high quality agricultural land and contains heritage asset - should not be developed. Congestion already an issue in area - development would amplify this. Greater focus needed on utilising many vacant industrial units in area before considering Green Belt release.

Plan provides little support to existing infrastructure - increase in housing will exacerbate current congestion issues.

Plan offers limited protection for environment - loss of Green Belt, increased car journeys due to location of residential developments, thus adding to existing air quality issues. Plan is disappointing and sacrifices too much green land without providing innovative solutions to problems of area. Greater focus needed on Town Centre regeneration.
